Hi Anand,
Thank you for your reply.
I tested this quickly, but it's not completely what I meant.
With this solution everything is based on the generated customer number. I would like to use the customer number only as a reference on some of the paperwork.
Because we still have some custom solutions which can't be integrated in erpNext very quickly I would like to use the number only to make it compatible with these tools.
But in the end it will be phased out.
Next to that, the customer number and supplier number should be generated from the same 'number generator'.
So for instance I create a customer A, whom will get number 1, then I create a supplier, whom will get 2, next customer or supplier will get 3 and so on.
As I mentioned before, I only quickly tried your proposed solution, because lack of time I couldn't test it more thoroughly. I hope I can do that tonight and or tomorrow, because when this issue is solved I can start setting up the 'production' version and we can switch to a new system, and I want this so badly :)
ErpNext is the first system which can do most of the thing we need, and is still intuitive.
Best regards,
Wouter Meertens.
