File Numbers

Setup > Practice > File Numbers

The File Number Setup section of Bluechip allows you to manage the format of file numbers are generated throughout Bluechip. In some cases you can also specify whether a File Number is required, and if so, whether it must be generated manually. For example, you may want all receipts relating to a particular bank account to have a receipt number format of KON413, where;

KON is the prefix you use to indicate that it is the Kong Pty Ltd account,
413 is the incremented receipt number.
You can also manage File Number Policies, which dictate whether or not a file number is a requirement, and if so, whether it is generated manually.
