Manually add a range

You manually add a range if you are using a date-dependent counter and you have not set Add ranges automatically after the end date.

To manually add a range:

1. Go to: General / Configuration / Numbering settings / Counters.
2. Open the counter properties..
3. Go to the tab: Ranges.
4. Click on: New.
5. Enter the total number of positions that must be used for the range in Total length.

   The maximum length for the range is 12 positions. This includes the leader.

6. Enter the leader in Leading (tags), if you want to use a leader.

   The leader is always the same; the rest of the number is incremented each time.

7. Enter a value in Start value.

   Profit will add 1 to this value and issue that number when a new invoice or voucher is added.

8. Enter the start date of the new range. This is mandatory for the new range.
9. Only enter a Range end date, if you want the range to end on the end date.

   Gaps and overlap between ranges are not allowed. The start date cannot fall between the start and end date of another range assigned to the same counter. The end date also cannot fall between the start and end date of another range assigned to the same counter.

10. Click on: Finish.

    If this counter already had a range, Profit enters an end date for the first range after you have added a new range. The end date of that range is the day on which you add the new range - 1 day. This end date is displayed in the End column on the Ranges tab.

11. Click on: OK.
