Autoincrement naming

ERPNext
1

Hi, I want to create a unique employee name_series with format like this:

EMP-{YY}-{####}

What I want to ask is, if the year has changed, the autoincrement on {####} will continue or it will reset to start with 1 again? Like

EMP-19-0001
EMP-19-0002
and then the year changed, the name will be
EMP-20-0001
EMP-20-0002

or it will be like this
EMP-20-0003
EMP-20-0004

What I want is the autoincrement still continue no matter with year like
EMP-19-0001
EMP-19-0002
EMP-20-0003
EMP-20-0004

How to achieve that?

Thanks

Any idea how to achieve unique {####} no matter the Year?

on employee form, create a custom field called year. You can ask user to fill in this field manually or using custom script. Then in naming series, using this series EMP.year.#####.
