Sage 100 Contractor requires only whole numbers for numbering vendors, clients, jobs, employee and virtually everything else.  Users coming from other systems that don't include Sage100Con's powerful record finding capabilities tend to insist on structuring their record numbering schemes, but I counsel against it because its too much trouble and too easy to foul it up over time.  Use the data fields available to you (types, statuses, project dates, etc) and you won't need to bother structuring your numbers.  Assign numbers consecutively and move on.

Yeah, I've been using sequential whole numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) since I started with Sage 100 Contractor 12 years ago.  No regrets.
