This option automatically assigns a vendor number when creating a new vendor. When you enable this setting, the vendor number field will show the label "Automatically Assigned" and, on saving, it will generate a number. You can customize the number sequence on the Number Series screen.
By default, the setting is turned off.
To enable this feature:
Click on the gear icon and select Settings.
Click on Asset > Automatic Vendor Numbers.
Check the Automatic Vendor Numbers checkbox to enable this setting.
Click on the Save button.
A link "Setting Up the Automatic Vendor Number," will appear on saving.
The link will navigate to the Number Series screen where you can customize the number sequences for auto-generation.
