Naming series issue with MM.#### - each MM change means XXXX series resets!

Hi,

I want to set a naming serie like this one :
INV-18010001
INV-18010002
INV-18010003
INV-18010004
INV-18020005
…

Where 18 would be year, 01 & 02 months, & 000x a counter. Without any kind of restart when month is changing.

I tried something like INV-.YY.MM.#### and I don’t get my result. As #### will reset each time prefix is changing. I mean that I am getting

INV-18010001
INV-18010002
INV-18010003
INV-18010004
INV-18020001
…

Is there any way to get what I am trying to get or am I wasting my time ? :slight_smile:

Thanks

Sébastien

Hi clarkej,

Is the title edit a kind of answer or a gentle way to help me to get views & answers ? :slight_smile:

The latter - I like to promote dialogue where I can.

I am somewhat familiar with naming_series and autoname, and suspect what you require is doable but may require a server side code change.

OK. Thank you.

I just wanted to know if it was doable without any server side code change. If not, I’ll just start using something like INV-.YY.#####.

Even if I would prefer something else, it doesn’t matter that much.

Thanks again
