This project number generation has become a real headache for our project planners as there is no rhyme or reason to what the numbers will be. Our previous version created a simple 4 digit project code sequentially that would fit nicely into the #digit parameters of our ledgers and project time tracking tools. Now we get a phone number...it really becomes apparent when you have something like the following which are created within mins of each other:
Bureau and Data Call Commercial - 1962431947
Bureau and Data Call Commercial Claims - 196246276
The first one is 10 digits and the second one 9...very odd
We'll try the suggestion
