For serial and stock numbers that are auto generated you can add a coded prefix for store number and date codes. Below are the codes you can use.
s=store number
yy=2 digit year
yyyy=4 digit year
mm= 2 digit month
dd= 2 digit day
For serial numbers you can embed other characters, such as "s-yy:mm:dd-", which would make a generated serial number of 200, for store 2, received on 2/8/2023.
2-23:02:08-200
"yyyymmdd" would make it: 20230208200
Remember serial numbers are a maximum of 30 characters!
Stock Numbers
For stock numbers since they are numbers only and do not allow alpha characters you can only do something like: "syymmdd", which for stock number 300 and the same item as above, would be
2230208300
"yyyymmdd" would make it: 20230208300
"12yyyymmdd" would make it: 1220230208300
Remember stock numbers are a maximum of 15 numbers! So any prefix plus the generated number must be 15 numbers or less.
Please note for stock numbers if there are any other string characters saved as the prefix no prefix code would be generated on receive, you can only have the following characters: "s", "yy", "yyyy", "mm", and "dd".
