In Visma.net ERP, different types of accounts and other system entities have IDs, which you design to meet your organisation's requirements.
These IDs can have any number of segments. For instance, you can define segments that denote specific divisions, departments, regions, or cost centres.

By using segments, you make IDs more meaningful for users and reduce input errors. You define segmentation by using segmented keys.
Visma.net ERP provides a predefined configuration for each segmented key, which can be used in most cases.

For more information about using segmented keys to configure IDs for various entities, see the following topics:

• About ID segmentation
• About account IDs
• About item IDs

You use a number series to have the system automatically generate a number for a new object when the object is being created manually or automatically.
For example: Numbering sequences are used for numbering batches, allocations, schedules, suppliers, and payments.
Visma.net ERP provides a number of predefined number series, and your organisation can create and use any number of user-defined number series.

To validate user input in data entry fields, you can define input masks and regular expressions.

For instance: You can use input masks and regular expressions to validate the text fields with phone numbers, post codes, and tax registration numbers.

For more information, see: About input validation options and About input masks.

The business process and implementation scenarios give you the ability to simplify and facilitate the execution of the complex and multi-stage processes that you perform in Visma.net ERP once or on a recurring basis, such as implementing and configuring the Visma.net ERP workspaces (one-time processes) and closing the financial periods (recurrent process).
