Support for other than type 1 and 2 document series (e.g., document series type 7)

Feature ID: FD-4486

Added support for other than type 1 and 2 document series in web client, which requires the following:

The effects to the existing interfaces and interface tables:
  • The required column for document number is added to all the existing standard interface compatible interface tables and interface procedures.
  • It is not compulsory to take into use the document number column in the existing interfaces and by default, it does not change the operations of an existing interface.
  • However, adding a new field may affect the custom procedures run in interfaces if the custom procedure does not comply with the possible changes in the database. This may occur for example when the database query in the custom procedure has been made using SELECT * FROM integration.FMINTEGRATIONPRERAWQW_TO_FPM_ACT.
