If the parameter UNIQUE BLOCKCODE is set to Y and the property has defined a block code template in the application setting BUSINESS BLOCK TEMPLATE – when OPERA automatically creates the block code, then if a duplicate block code would be entered, OPERA would append the code with ‘_001’  to make it unique.

If the parameter UNIQUE BLOCKCODE is set to Y and the property has NOT defined a block code template in the application setting BUSINESS BLOCK TEMPLATE – when the User attempts to create a Block Code that has already been used, then OPERA will just prompt a warning message and the user must create a new block code.

If the parameter UNIQUE BLOCKCODE is set to N and the property has defined a block code template in the application setting BUSINESS BLOCK TEMPLATE – when OPERA automatically creates the block code then the exact same block code could be assigned – ‘_001’ would be created on the end of the block code.

If the parameter UNIQUE BLOCKCODE is set to N and the property has NOT defined a block code template in the application setting BUSINESS BLOCK TEMPLATE – when the User creates the Block Code there is not verification or check on what is entered.
