• Numeric6Plus2
Generates company IDs in a modified numeric sequence. The first company ID assigned is 10000. This increments by one for each new company ID. When 99999 has been assigned, the first six digits reset to 10000 and the extension 01 is added. When 9999901 has been assigned, the first six digits again reset to 10000 and the extension 02 is added. This sequence repeats as necessary.
