This might be a bit of reach but our ERP software will not allow us to define multiple numbering conventions in order to use intelligent data modifiers. These are crucial to help control product flow without having to constantly reference the text descriptor. The most we can currently do is enforce unique codes and descriptor so no duplicated items.

The workaround is to implement a configuration tool that will allow someone to select the correct material prefix for the product type and then have the next available number auto generated and then stored in the product master.

I have the code to write the generated pieces into the master but I am stuck on the generator portion since it has to cross reference the specific prefix group to get the next number available
