Set Auto-Generated Numbers for GCC States
The Set Up Auto-Generated Numbers page lets you choose which record types should be automatically numbered in the order in which they are created. On this page you can also add prefixes and suffixes to auto-generated numbers. Prefixes and suffixes are helpful in determining a record, transaction, or document’s type and estimated age at a glance.
For example, you can use auto-generated numbering for customer records in your account and prefix the number with CUST. Each time you add a new customer record, the new customer gets the next number, so you can see that CUST0025 is newer than CUST0004.
When you set a record type to have auto-generated numbers, the number replaces the name that was stored in the Company Name field. Record numbers can't be reverted back to names after auto-generated numbering has been enabled and the records have been updated.
