Configurable Automatically-Named Objects

You can configure the naming convention for objects that are automatically named.

For information about how the autonaming process works and how to configure autonaming, see Collaboration and Approvals Administration Guide: Configuring Automatic Business Object Naming.

X-BOM Manufacturing includes two business objects for each type that is named automatically: an eServices Object Generator object and an eServices Number Generator object. For example, these are the business objects that let the system name MCO objects: 

eService Object Generator 
type_MCO

eService Number Generator 
type_MCO

To see how the automatic names for an object type are constructed--for example, the numbering sequence, prefix, and suffix used--look at the attributes on the Object Generator that corresponds to the object type. The automatic names are suggestions only. You probably want to customize the naming to suit your business processes.
