Automatically generated Tracking Number
1. Rules for the automatically generated Tracking Number
1.1 Tracking number format
The automatically generated Tracking number uses the following properties to create the tracking number (TC-LC-SQN):
- TC: Trial code
- LC: Destination location code
- SQN: Sequential number
Example 1:
Trial Code: TA
Shipment to: L01
Automatically generated tracking number: TA-L01-001
Note: for trials without Trial Code, the generated tracking number will only use location code and sequential number in the following format: -LC-SQN
Example 2:
Trial Code: -
Shipment to: L01
Automatically generated tracking number: -L01-001

Example 3:
Trial Code: TA
Existing shipments in L01: TA-L01-001
Existing shipments in L02: -
Shipment to: L02
Automatically generated tracking number will be: TA-L02-001
Shipment to: L01
Automatically generated tracking number will be: TA-L01-002
1.3 The next sequential number is the highest existing number +1
Example 4:
Trial Code: TA
Existing shipments in L01:
- TA-L01-001
- TA-L01-003
Shipment to: L01
Automatically generated tracking number will be: TA-L01-004
