My company is currently upgrading from 4.0 to 2013 however due to budget constraints there are some areas of the business which are still working on 4.0 (furthest
point from ideal I know!)<o:p></o:p>
At present I have in Opportunities an Opportunity Type field which has various options including 'Room Booking'. <o:p></o:p>
When Room Booking is selected and the opportunity saved I have an auto-number which generates for correspondence purposes.<o:p></o:p>
As we also use the Service Calendar for the room bookings (to ensure there isn't a double booking) I have set up a workflow to create an opportunity
when the service calendar appointment is created.<o:p></o:p>
Unfortunately the workflow and the auto-number facilities seem to clash and my development guys say there isn't a fix to this and suggest we just
do the ID number manually.<o:p></o:p>
Not to second guess my dev guys, but is this really the case or is there a way around the problem?
