• Key Concepts: 
  Issue sequence is a feature in SAP IS-M-SD Media Sales and Distribution that allows users to assign a unique number to each document created in the system. This number is used to track the document and its associated transactions. It also helps to ensure that documents are processed in the correct order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use issue sequence, users must first create a sequence profile in the system. This profile defines the parameters for the sequence, such as the starting number, increment value, and length of the number. Once the profile is created, users can assign it to a document type. When a document of that type is created, it will be assigned a unique number based on the parameters of the sequence profile. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that issue sequences are not automatically reset when a new fiscal year begins. Users must manually reset the sequence in order for it to start from the beginning again. Additionally, users should be aware that issue sequences are not automatically assigned to documents; they must be manually assigned when creating or editing a document.
