Does anyone use Alpha characters in Invoice or Credit Memo #'s?

Hi.  Right now our Credit Memo #'s, Quote #'s and Internet Orders (not in Oracle) all start with a 2.  This is causing confusion when a customer just references that #...the end users are not sure with out looking in Oracle what this # is referencing.

One option that was brought up was adding an alpha character(s) to the Credit Memo's, Quote #'s and Invoice #'s.  So my questions are:

  1. Does anyone user alpha characters?  Example, instead of credit memo # 216599, we would start using CM216599?  Or instead of quote #216599 we would use quote #Q216599.
  2. If you have or do use alpha characters, any pros or cons you can share?

Howdy, Stranger!
