Auto-Number by Fiscal Year

Summary

When you save a record, automatically number it based on the fiscal year.

Smartphone support

This plugin supports smartphones.

How to use

Choose the fiscal year start month and the field for the assigned number. Configure the digits, zero-padding, prefix, suffix, and whether to disable the field. The plugin uses the date of saving to determine the fiscal year and assigns a number only to unnumbered records. Reusing a record clears its number so a new one is assigned on saving.

When it runs

Depending on the settings, this customization runs at the following times. Any configured conditions are also evaluated.

  • Immediately before saving a record
  • When you reuse an existing record to create a new one
  • When you open a record creation or edit page

Inline editing from the pencil icon on the list page is also included.
