Hi happyman,

With the Dynamics 365 (online), version 9.0 release, you can add an auto-number attribute for any entity. You can achieve auto number following ways.

XrmToolBox - Auto Number Manager - http://anm.xrmtoolbox.com/

Easy AutoNumber Utility for Dynamics - https://dynamics365heroes.com/2017/10/02/easy-autonumber-utility-dynamics-365-july-2017-update-v9/

Add the attribute programmatically - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/create-auto-number-attributes

Thanks

Hi,

The first method:

You can do this via workflow. See link below,

The second method:

You can configure the Prefix, Suffix and the last used number.
