if I set up automatic numbering for next year for work orders can I use 26-1 and it will proceed as 26-2,26-3,26-4 and so on

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, you can set up automatic numbering for work orders in NetSuite. However, the numbering will not automatically proceed as 26-2, 26-3, 26-4, and so on, if you set it up as 26-1. The numbering sequence in NetSuite is based on the last number used, and it increments by one for each new record. If you want to start the numbering from 26-1, you would need to manually set the last number used to 26-0. Then, the next work order would be numbered as 26-1, and subsequent work orders would follow as 26-2, 26-3, 26-4, and so on. To set up automatic numbering, you can go to Setup > Company > Auto-Generated Numbers > Setup. Then, on the Document Numbers subtab, you can set the 'Last Number Used' for work orders. Remember to uncheck the 'Allow Override' option for auto-generated numbers. This ensures that numbers generate when transactions are saved, not when started, and helps avoid conflicts when multiple users are entering orders at the same time. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
