Document Prefixes are 3-character prefixes appended to the beginning of Document IDs. These prefixes identify to which entity the document belongs. For example, the Customer ID prefix could be CUS. When you see CUS4588, you would immediately identify that as a Customer ID as opposed to a Sales Order ID, which would have a different prefix.
When you're looking at documents created by LOU, you can quickly identify what entity they belong to by looking at this Prefix.
Go to Product Setup / Foundation / Document Prefixes
You can accept the defaults or change the prefixes either to match your previous system or to make sense for your business. To change a prefix, simply click into the Prefix field and change the 3-character prefix.
