In a Manufacturing company, there are huge order requirements placed from multiple customers and vendor. In such a scenario, on would want to keep all the data in one place along with setting up alert and notifications so that important communication to the client is not missed out.

In Sage 300 ERP, when you create and save any new Vendor or Customer, you will have to enter Vendor / Customer code manually in accordance with the naming format of the company. Sometimes it is difficult to remember what the last number of that record was and it might take time to locate the particular data when in dire need.

To overcome this problem, we have come up with one small customization, which when set according to the rule, will help auto-generate the Vendor / Customer code once you click on the ‘new’ button. E.g., you have last vendor number in database saved as S00009, so the next vendor number will be “S00010” which is automatically generated by system. User cannot manually enter anything in the Vendor Text Box because that text box will appear as a disabled field.

Currently we have used the prefix “C” for customer & “S” for vendor. You can change this prefix as per your requirement or else this prefix will be generated automatically.
