Is It Possible to Have Different Shipment Number Sequences Based on Order Type?

Currently, in Sales Order Preferences, there is only one default Shipment Numbering Sequence configured (e.g., SH####).

However, the business requirement is to have different shipment numbering sequences depending on the Order Type.

For example:

  • Standard OrdersSH####

  • RW Order TypeSL####
    Is it possible to configure multiple shipment numbering sequences based on Order Type?
    If not available natively, is there a workaround (e.g., customization, automation, business event)?

I wrote a customization for a somewhat similar scenario for a company who wanted Project Quotes numbered as {OppID}-001, etc.

Hi ​@FrankieDC ,

I believe you can achieve this by custom development. You can change your settings to switch to a manual numbering sequence, where you enter your shipment number manually, and then allow your customization to manage it based on the type.
