Auto-Numbering A check box that you select to use auto-numbering for generating IDs for sequences based on this discount code. By default, the discount code will be used as a prefix for generating sequence IDs, but you can instead specify in the Last Number column a string to be used as a template for auto-numbering.
Last Number The last ID used for the sequence if sequence IDs are auto-numbered. If you enter a string here before any sequence is created, the string will be used as a template for auto-numbering. The string may contain up to 10 characters with digits at the end. The last letter used divides the string into a prefix and the integer to be auto-incremented. If no value is specified, the discount code will be used as a prefix.
