This is for their end of day process and they want to be able to count
the number of tickets and match the number of parcels and then be able
to match them in sequential order. They also store the parcels in a
vault in sequential order so that when the customer comes back for their
parcel it's easy to find.
The tickets are printed on dot matrix printers using carbon copy paper.
The only way I can see this working is to have an internal sequential
number and an external random one. At the end of the day they'll have to
print out a report with the internal and external numbers so they can do
their matching/double check. The parcel will have just the internal
number on it. When the customer comes back they'll have to look up the
parcel on the PC using the external number and then get the internal
number to get the package from the vault.
Maybe they'll be happy with this.
Frank.

Do you have
1) a specific report for the customer ticket
2) can you can add a sequential number on to the above for the internal
copy?
3) a parcel label that can have a ticket number and the sequential number
on it?
It would mean the two people would need to come back and get the parcel, and
see the label to try to figure out the numbers.

Subject: Numbering Scheme
I have a client who issues tickets in numerical sequence (it's a
pawnshop). The sequence helps them balance things back at the end of the
day (read that as check for stealing) when checking the various parcels
received for the tickets issued (they keep a copy of the ticket issued
to their customer and at the end of the day sort them sequentially and
read the numbers off the tickets to ensure they match the parcels). They
are now not wanting the number printed on the ticket as their
competitors may be able to get an idea from the sequential numbers how
much business they are doing (by getting a ticket early in the morning
and then one ate in the afternoon).
So, they have asked me to come up with a solution and I must admit that
I am coming up blank.
Any ideas?
