# Number Series
|
|
|
|
A number series is used to maintain a series for numbering documents (like invoices)
|
|
|
|
Properties:
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Prefix of the series example `INV-`
|
|
- `current`: Its current (or starting) value. This will be auto updated everytime the series is updated.
|
|
|
|
### API
|
|
|
|
You can get the next number in the series by using the utiltiy function
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const model = require("frappejs/model")
|
|
let nextValue = model.getSeriesNext("INV-");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting naming series in a document
|
|
|
|
To setup a number series for a DocType:
|
|
|
|
- It must have its own "Settings" [single document](../models/singles.md. For example (InvoiceSettings for Invoice).
|
|
- The settings document must be set via the `settings` property in the DocType
|
|
- The settings document must have a `numberSeries` property with value of the number series |
