This is for their end of day process and they want to be able to count the number of tickets and match the number of parcels and then be able to match them in sequential order. They also store the parcels in a vault in sequential order so that when the customer comes back for their parcel it's easy to find.
The tickets are printed on dot matrix printers using carbon copy paper.
The only way I can see this working is to have an internal sequential number and an external random one. At the end of the day they'll have to print out a report with the internal and external numbers so they can do their matching/double check. The parcel will have just the internal number on it. When the customer comes back they'll have to look up the parcel on the PC using the external number and then get the internal number to get the package from the vault.
Maybe they'll be happy with this.

Do you have

- can you can add a sequential number on to the above for the internal
copy? 3) a parcel label that can have a ticket number and the sequential number on it?
It would mean the two people would need to come back and get the parcel, and see the label to try to figure out the numbers.

I have a client who issues tickets in numerical sequence (it's a pawnshop). The sequence helps them balance things back at the end of the day (read that as check for stealing) when checking the various parcels received for the tickets issued (they keep a copy of the ticket issued to their customer and at the end of the day sort them sequentially and read the numbers off the tickets to ensure they match the parcels). They are now not wanting the number printed on the ticket as their competitors may be able to get an idea from the sequential numbers how much business they are doing (by getting a ticket early in the morning and then one ate in the afternoon).
So, they have asked me to come up with a solution and I must admit that I am coming up blank.
Any ideas?
