Step 9.
In the Advanced tab, you can set up automatic numbering for different fields.
The Project Code, Purchase Order No., Material Item Code and Quote Code are mandatory. These codes will be used as automatic numbering when you dont have specific number for projects, quotes, purchase orders and material items. The first number in Project Code is used as alphabetical prefix for each project order. E.g. a value of 1001 will attempt to assign the next project code to A001. The Quote code prefix is optional, however, we recommend you use a specific letter e.g. Q to differentiate.
