Setting Accession numbers

Accession numbers, sometimes referred to as transfer numbers, operate the same as consignment numbers.

The accession number function differs from the consignment number function in that it is just a stand-alone field that does not link to any other functions, whereas the consignment number function is an integral part of the retention process.
