Why do we need Auto ID Generation
Impossible to key in unique ID for each record in each
application.
Data stored must have a unique ID to be identified easily

Auto ID Generation in T24

How it works
Auto ID generation works in three ways

Type <Application> I F3 in the command line
Type <Application,versionname> I F3 in the command
line

How it works
Applications that have auto
ID generation set, have this
NEW icon, other applications
don’t.

How it works
The word NEW specifies
that a new ID has been
generated. It can be
viewed once the record
is verified or placed on
Hold etc.
That’s the new ID generated

How it works
T24 keeps track of all the ID’s generated for each
application, so that it can generate the next one when
required. The LOCKING file keeps track of this.
The last generated ID is obtained from LOCKING
Incremented by 1
Write the new ID to LOCKING
Assign the new ID to the user

How it works
ID is F<mnemonic>.APPLICATION
Last ID generated for that application

Summary
Some applications allow AUTO ID generation
They must be mentioned in the [Link] field in the
COMPANY application
Even though AUTO ID generation is set, the user is allowed to
form an ID as long as the validation rules are satisfied.
To make AUTO ID generation mandatory, we must suffix the
application name with M in the COMPANY file. (e.g.:
CUSTOMER M)
[Link] application is used to mention the first ID to
be generated for each application
The last ID generated is held in the LOCKING file, so that’s
how T24 knows the next ID to generate.
