How do I auto generate party numbers?

You can automatically generate party numbers that begin from a certain number.

For example, you may have loaded legacy party numbers with existing party numbers. You determine the maximum party number. You can then specify that any party number that is newly created will be an increment of this maximum party number.

You must first set Party Number Generation profile option (HZ_GENERATE_PARTY_NUMBER) to Auto numbering, update not allowed. You then specify that the billing account numbers must be increments of the initial value, say, 32,100.

The initial value will take effect on newly created accounts.
