In Business Central now (and previously in NAV) it is possible to define just one set of numeration series for sales and purchase documents.

In a lot of scenarios, users would like to have easy possibility to define different numeration series for the same documents, for example:
- different numeration series for sales invoices per responsibility center;
- different numeration series for sales invoices for operation sales and other sales (like recharges or sales of fixed assets);
- different numeration series for purchase invoices related to goods purchases and to costs;
And many, many other.

So it would be good to be able to define templates which define various sets of number series for specific document types. Users should be able to pick up proper template, while adding new document .

Business Logic by using different no series is not recommended. Why not a field ''Document type'' where you select what ever other information that you need?

This is a function that we had to built several times.

Users wants to have journal template (with different number series) for purchase fixed assets / opearational costs / hotel & expenses / ...
At the sales side, we have sometimes the need to have several journal templates for sales invoices from Business Central and sales invoices that are coming in with interfaces.

Also at 2 or 3 customers we had the need that other information should be printed on the sales invoices coming from other sales journals.

As far as i know we were able to connect No.- series in NAV, so we were able to use different No- series for different usage cases.
How should a template work?
How am i automatical able to determine at document creation time which No- series i should use?
I do not know anything about the document, no responsibility center, not if operation sales or other.
The only possibility we have is to select it manualy before creating the doc, but this is available via the assist edit of the document number, if there are multiple No. -series.
Other pages may require special No.- series from special setups. They may set it in OnNewRecord of the page if required.
