Interment Reference Number
CREATED: October 2023
This reference number sequence will allow system administrators to assign a unique identifier to a deceased person record, as part of the burial booking completion process.
The management and assignment of the next reference number follows the same principles used throughout the Reference Number function.
Name: InterRef:[site code]
Next Reference Number: auto-incrementing number
Maximum Next Reference Number: highest value allowed
Length: defines total number of digits to be used for the reference number (excluding prefix)
leading characters are padded with 0s.
e.g. above configuration results in INT001000
Prefix: XXX
Territory: selection options
1. Number sequences can be set by Territory
1a. Parent territory means one number range all sites
1b. Separate Site/territory ranges are allowed
the logic will need to:
- first find the interment reference number record using the site level secterr (based on Person/deceased)
- if not found, move on to the next level on the territory tree until it reaches the top level
2. Prefix is required to ensure unique identifiers are created (by territory)
2a. ensures no conflict with the existing logic to check that pers_intermentRef is unique.
3. When a Sales & Booking status is changed to completed, with a type code matching the VALUE, the following field is to be updated with the next reference number:
3a. Person: pers_IntermentRef
