If you want Oracle Projects to number each project automatically upon creation, then specify a starting project number. Automatic project numbers are numeric; they do not contain letters or special characters and are sequentially numbered.

If you want to choose your own project numbers, or if want your project numbers to include both alphabetic and numeric characters, choose the manual project numbering method. Manual project numbers can be either alphanumeric or numeric.

Note: Project templates are always numbered manually. The Project Numbering implementation option does not affect how project templates are numbered.

Fremont Corporation prefers alphanumeric, manually entered project numbers.
Project Numbering Method	Manual
Project Number Type	Alphanumeric

If you already have alphanumeric project numbers, you can either continue entering alphanumeric project numbers manually, or you can switch from manual to automatic numbering. If you choose the latter, keep in mind that while your alphanumeric project numbers will always exist in their current form, Oracle Projects automatically generates all future project numbers using numbers only.

Note: In a multiple organization installation of Oracle Projects, project numbers (including project template numbers) are unique across operating units. When automatic project numbering is used, if a value is entered for next project number, the same number will be shown for all operating units that also use the automatic project numbering method.
