Example

Each pattern consists of a prefix, a sequence, and a suffix.

The system minimally generates the number type based on the values you enter on the Next Number Maintenance screen.

Given the following values, the first number would be SFC000001ABC.

Prefix Value: SFC

Suffix Value: ABC

Number Base: 10

Sequence Length: 6

Min Sequence: 1

Max Sequence: 100000

Increment By: 1

Current Sequence: 1
