Analysis
If the old series ends at A-0450 and the new one starts at B-0001, show both in Table 13. Keep a note of the change. Avoid restarting the same prefix, since a repeated number in the same year breaks the rule.
Close
- Close the old series and note the last number.
- Start the new series with a different prefix.
- Report both in Table 13.
- Keep a change note in your records.
