Generation of a Supplier ID on supplier creation

ERPNext Buying
1

Hi all,

I am hoping someone is able to help me configure the following:
On creation of a new supplier, auto generate a supplier id. It is a unique ID, it doesn’t matter too much what the format is, let’s use SUP- + integer as an example (e.g. SUP-1211)

Currently, when I create a supplier the ID column just continues to be the supplier’s name. I have tried to auto generate it with a naming series (see screenshots) but I can’t get it to work.

By the way, if it’s easier to create a custom field and have the ID generated there, I am happy to do that. Is anyone able to help me with the steps I need?

You can configure Supplier Naming in Buying Setting

By default this SUP-.YYYY.- will available.

But you can change as per your requirement from Document Naming Settings
