Description
This program performs numbering for postal packs and, if applicable,containers.
Numbering takes place using separate function modules that are set upduring Customizing. This enables you to set up numbering according toyour own requirements.
The following function modules are used:

• Containers: ISP_CONTAINER_NUMBERING_DEF


• Postal packs : ISP_BUNDLE_NUMBERING_DEF

All postal packs and containers selected are sorted and passed on tothe function modules for numbering.
All sort fields are sorted in ascending order and according to thefollowing procedure:
The existing containers are sorted by
Logistical delivery type
Network
Publication
Edition
Insert mix
Recipient country
Manufacturing level for container
Postal code for container
If containers are made up of different issues or insert mixes, theissue or insert mix with the lowest number determines the number of thecontainer. (Since this may lead to an illogical sequence of containers,you are advised not to create containers with mixed contents.)
Postal packs are sorted by
Container number
Logistical delivery type
Network
Publication
Edition
Insert mix
Recipient country
Postal code of postal pack
Numbering then begins with the initial value on the selection screenand proceeds sequentially.
The postal packs and containers are numbered according to the aboveprocedure during postal packing and container packing. You can performa separate numbering run so that the numbers of the containers orpostal packs are assigned according to different criteria or in othernumber ranges independently of the grouping in container packing andpostal packing.
Shipping documents for postal shipping are only sorted according tothese two numbers.
