suncity65 How to create auto number scheme on Text Type in salesforce.
hi all,
we have a scenario where in we need to have same number but different versions of it in one of our objects.
eg: PartNumber and version ( both are text type) i want to create a custom autonumber scheme for the partnumber.
if i use autonumber type available in force.com, i cannot create another part object with same part number but different version, want help on solving this issue, any suggestion would be really great.
I think what you need here are at least 2 fields:
1. Part Name
2. Part Number
Both of which can be text fields. Or only #2 can be a number field. You can choose to have a 3rd field for an autonumbered but that's not going to affect the solution here.
Write Apex code which: calculates the total number of Part records with the same name as being created as in field #1. Then before insert, populate field #2 on the record being created with the total of Part records+1.
