How to create auto-generated numbers for a catalog item based on Fiscal Years

Hello all,

 

I have a requirement to create auto-generated numbers for a catalog item based on Fiscal Years.

Our fiscal year starts in July.  Hence, I want these auto-generated numbers to update on July 1 of each year. 

So when the numbering starts with 25, that means it will be fiscal year 25/26 July 1, 2025 (already in past) and end June 30 2026.  Then 26 will be fiscal year 26/27 starting July 1 2026 and end June 30 2027.

I hope this makes sense.

 

The expectation is format example below:
25-50000
25-50001

26-60000
26-60001

27-70000
27-70001

 

 

It seems like I could manually create this for each fiscal year (using the Numbers), but I don't want to do this every fiscal year.  

It also seems like I could use the Fiscal Periods to set these up, but I am not sure how to use or otherwise integrate the fiscal periods to auto-generate these.

 

Seems like there is a better solution.  

Maybe some sort of onLoad script?

Hello @Nicholas Hromya 

 

Are these requirements for RITM numbering, or is there a custom field on the form that needs to be populated with these numbers?
