Cremation Number Reference

This table defines the next number to be used when creating new Cremated Remains.

It's active when the configuration for CR Number sequence = Y.

CHANGE October 2023:
This update REPLACES any logic for CR numbering previously managed via the Reference Number entries: CRRef or CRRef:Foreign
Same logic applies to numbering from NEW cremated remains screen access from NEW menu or S&B/Cremated Remains tab header
