For offices using ACI Track to enter new orders and automatically generate file numbers:
- Open ACI Track and click Setup > Office Controls.
- Update the File Number Prefix. The prefix may contain letters, numbers, and hyphens, and is included at the beginning of every file number.
- Enter the starting number for auto-numbering in the Starting File Number.
- Click OK. Automatic numbering begins with the next order created.
Note: The minimum length of the automatically generated file number, including prefix, is eight characters. Track inserts zeros if the number of characters in the prefix plus the starting file number is less than eight (i.e., if the prefix is 598 and the starting file number is 1, the first file number will be 59800001).
