====== Set custom Record Number ======

If you want to use different Record Numbers for Invoice/Accounts/Contacts based on some conditions, you could use this task.

This allows to set a increasing Number across differnet modules. **Every number will be used only one time!**

You could create multiple different "number sequences".

The field **Write in this field** will set the field, which should contain the sequence.
The field **Number Row** contains the name of the sequence. If you use two blocks with the same name, they will use the same sequence. You could choose the sequence also from a list of already existing sequences.

The next fields are only relevant if you want to create a new sequence. They are read only if you choose a existing one.
The field **Length of Number** contains the complete length of the string. If the next sequence Number will be shorter, it will filled with leading zeros.
The field **nextID** will contain the next used ID. (You could start for example on 1000)
The field **prefix of number** will set the prefix, which will set before the Number and written in the field, too.

For example you could configure to create Record No like this:

| Quote A | R0001 |
| Quote B | R0002 |
| Invoice A | R0003 |
| SalesOrder A | R0004 |
| Quote C | R0005 |
| SalesOrder B | R0006 |
