Custom script to make Item Code in product an autu-increment field

Hello All,

Rushabh suggested I post this query to the forum;


How can I make the 'Item Code' field an auto-increment field? 

My example is as follows. I have a list of products with the item code taking the format 'F#####', for example, F12345, F12346, F12347 etc.

When I create a new product, I want the Item Code to automatically be populated with the next available number. I'm told this can be done with a custom script.


Thanks,
-Jev

Hi Jev,

You can go to Stock > Stock Settings and set Item Naming by Naming Series. I think this is what you are looking for.

Best,

Hi,

I require the same, as stated above. This method works well for Customer and Supplier. However, for Project, I am unable to find ‘Project Settings’.

Is there any other way to do this? Would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
