If by ‘user-defined field’ you mean an Attribute UDF, then no. If you mean a custom database field, then yes.
@darylbowman Why is this not possible with the Attribute UDF?
@jhoncandare04 Acumatica Attribute UDF (User-Defined Fields) in Acumatica aren't typically used for generating numbering sequences. Acumatica's numbering sequences are designed to be applied at the system level, such as for documents (invoices, sales orders, Shipments etc.), and they rely on system-specific fields rather than attributes.
Attributes are generally used to store additional metadata or custom information related to records, like customer, vendor, or inventory information. While attributes can be powerful for data collection, they don't integrate with the system's auto-numbering functionality.
Hope this clarifies!!
though attributes are primarily used for storing metadata or custom information, with the right configuration and development, they can be adapted for more advanced use cases like numbering sequences.i think it is possible to achieve this through customization .
No @jhoncandare04 It is not possible with the customization for the Attribute UDF.
If you wanted to use the Numbering Sequence, I recommend you to go with the Database custom field.
