Categorized Customer Account Numbers?

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:11PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Can anyone help with this?

I'm trying to create stratified customer account numbers based off of: customer category, a customer 'brand' list (where applicable), and sequence.  Anyone have any recommendations on the best way to do this?  I’ve never written a script, but have messed around some in SQL.  We want to use six digit account numbers in the following format.

# ### ##
Category Brand Sequence

Example:
Category              #
Corporate 7
Government 3
Consumer 5

Brand ###
Taco Bell 142
Nike 593
Walmart 110

So for our 15th Taco Bell store, we would want:

714215
(7 for corporate, 142 for Taco Bell, 15 for sequence)

Even with what little I know of SQL, I can get everything except the sequence value, since I need to find that customer’s sequence within the same category and brand (where applicable).  Also, if this can be done through scripting, could I have it create an external ID?

Howdy, Stranger!
