In Master Data Services, automatically generate values for an entity’s Code attribute when you want an integer to be automatically assigned to the Code value each time a new member is created.
Prerequisites
To perform this procedure:
You must have permission to access the System Administration functional area.
You must be a model administrator. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).
The entity must exist. For more information, see Create an Entity (Master Data Services).
To automatically generate Code values
In Master Data Manager, click System Administration.
On the Model Explorer page, from the menu bar, point to Manage and click Entities.
On the Entity Maintenance page, from the Model list, select a model.
Select the row for the entity that you want to generate codes for.
Click Edit selected entity.
Select the Create Code values automatically check box.
In the Start with box, type a number to begin incrementing. If members already exist, the Code will be set based on the highest existing value. For example, if the highest existing Code value is 299, the next member’s Code value will be set to 300.
