how to auto generate number for document uploaded

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To auto-generate numbers for documents uploaded in NetSuite, you can create a custom record with a custom field to act as your auto-increment counter. Then, you can have a script that increments that counter each time a document is uploaded. Here is a general idea of how you can implement this: 1. Create a custom record type (let's call it

docNumberCounter

) with a custom field (let's call it

counter

). 2. Create a SuiteScript that does the following: - Load the

docNumberCounter

record. - Increment the

counter

field. - Save the

docNumberCounter

record. - Use the new counter value as the document number for the uploaded document. Please note that you need to ensure that the script runs each time a document is uploaded to keep the document numbers unique. Also, if you are dealing with sales orders and you want to have "auto generate" & "allow override = false" but allow a 3rd party app still send in their own SO numbers, you can use the "Generate Document Number on Save" feature. This feature allows you to generate a document number when the record is saved, which can help prevent duplicate document numbers, especially when you have integrations for creating documents. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
