hi,

what is the best approach to have auto generate document number or 
codification (e.g. product code) using web2py?
what i've done right now is something like :

*document numbercontrollers/purchase_transaction.py*
if 'purchase_order' in request.function :
    # purchase_order_header
    id_max_purchase_order_header = db.purchase_order_header.id.max()
    maxID_purchase_order_header = 
db(db.purchase_order_header).select(id_max_purchase_order_header).first()[id_max_purchase_order_header]
    purchase_order_no_id = int(maxID_purchase_order_header) + 1 if 
maxID_purchase_order_header else 1
    supplier_for_purchase_order_no = str(request.vars.supplier)
    purchase_order_no = 
str(purchase_order_no_id)+'/PO/'+request.now.strftime('%y%m%d')+'/'+supplier_for_purchase_order_no

    db.purchase_order_header.purchase_order_no.default = purchase_order_no

    # purchase_order_detail
    db.purchase_order_detail.purchase_order_no.default = 
purchase_order_no_id


*codification (e.g. product code)controllers/master.py*
def __onvalidation_product(form):
    row = db(db.model.id == form.vars.model).select().first()
    form.vars.brand = row.brand

    count_product_brand = db(db.product.brand == row.brand).count()
    next_product_count = int(count_product_brand) + 1 if 
count_product_brand else 1
    product_no = str(row.brand.code)+str(next_product_count)
    db.product.product_no.default = product_no

but anthony mention in another discussion that this kind of approach is not 
the best approach, any idea or suggestion what is the best approach to 
handle this kind of situation?
