it would be nice if we have the following
1.a specific number range for each entity type
2.assigning the number range for specific period
3.after expiration of the specific period the assigned number range cannot be used
4.allow prefix to number range ex:AA-12345 or AA/12345
5.allow suffix to the number range 1234/2012
6.Lock:if the same type of entity is being created by another user ? so the serial number shouldn't be assigned unless saved
to achieve the above we need a configuration settings for creating number ranges
ex: number range 1 = AA/000001 to ZZ/999999 period constraints applicable 'Yes '
for period of 12 months ,start date(usually financial year start date) ,is assigned to entity type article
hope some one will patch

I too would like a prefix to be used with a serial number. In the use case that I am
thinking of, the SID would be prefaced with a year (eg 2013-001, 2003-999)
