Goal

To control employee numbering or more accurately prevent numbering gaps.

For Example: The Last Employee created on the System had the Automatic Employee Number 71250, the next should have been in sequence 71251. However, upon creation of a new Employee today, the Employee Number became 71259. Another record was created following this gap, and the record successfully took the number 71260.
