How can I restart the autogenerated 'Current Number' count at the start of a new year?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can restart the autogenerated 'Current Number' count at the start of a new year by manually updating the 'suffix' (yyyy) at the end of every accounting period and resetting the 'initial number' at the same time. This can be done under the setup for Auto-Generated Numbers in NetSuite. However, it's important to note that this process won't go back and update any old transactions. The new initial number kicks in immediately, but only up to a certain character limit (17 characters). Also, you need to make sure that the 'Override' checkbox is unchecked for the transaction. If the 'Override' checkbox is checked, then even if you update with the supported new initial number, the new initial number does not kick in immediately. As soon as you uncheck the 'Override' checkbox, the transaction record starts from the new initial number. Alternatively, you could use the 'allow override' feature for the document numbers and create a SuiteScript to generate these numbers. However, this could be a complex task and might lead to issues if you have lots of concurrent transaction creation. A safer approach might be to use your script to populate a custom field instead. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
