Global Incrementing Number

Hi,

I’m building an app for contract management. Each contract has an ID and it is simply an integer that increments by 1 for each contract created. What is the best practice in generating the next identifier when we are about to create a new contract?

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the step panel of the flow designer under [b]Integration->internal services[/b] there is a service called "[b]IDGeneration[/b]." [/font][/color]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This service will allow you to define and retrieve an incremental counter to use as your contract ID. Using either "Get Next Number" or "Get Next ID Fill With Pad Char" which return a defined prefix and the next number will automatically begin the incrementation. [/font][/color]
