Generate formatted running number

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:32AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 1 comment

Dear all,

does anyone have experience with generating formatted running number, for example sales order  name in format SO/201310/0001

I am having script that will generate formatted running number in User Event - Before submit.

I am facing problem if 2 user submit on the same time then :
1st user will get SO/201310/0001
2nd user will also get SO/201310/0001

after save
1st user will get SO/201310/0001
2nd user will get 101

which 101 is the default running number from netsuite for sales order transaction.

is there a best practice way to handle this?
or
does netsuite has return error that indicate that the number is already exist so we could generate new number for it.
