I saw the tutorial " https://forum2.sambapos.org/index.php?topic=97.0 " but I would like to work with the Ticket Number Generator

That Ticket number you want. Do You want it to reset after a variation number is reached or continuously increase forever

3

increase when I click the button increase

That Tutorial link is the best way to use a number generator which can reset as well. But If you don’t want reset. TICKET NO should auto increase on each ticket. By default. Is I’d not doing this?

Let me explain better. I could use that way, but I do not understand how to insert the Ticket Tag in the script that I use to

@McKay

with his method I could use the Ticket Account Number Generator, although for me it would be better to implement the Ticket Tag but I don’t know if it’s possible

Your setting a fixed value in your program setting??? its not going up case your just making it 445 everytime, unless Im misunderstanding your screenshots…
Also setting name just needs to be a string, no {:xxxxxx}, then you call the value using {SETTING:xxxx}.

Number Generators are not designed to be altered/changed/updated/reset. They increment by 1 each time they are called upon to do so. This is done by assigning Number Generators to a Ticket Type.

By default, there are only 2 Number Generators defined:

  • Ticket Number Generator
  • Order Number Generator

By default, those generators are assigned to the Ticket Type named “Ticket”: This screenshot shows 4 Number Generators: 2 for each Ticket Type of “Ticket” and “Staff Ticket” …

Again, Number Generators are not designed to be updated or changed, and SambaPOS does not have any facility (no Actions) to do this. They increment by 1 automatically when a new Ticket is created, or a new Order is added to a Ticket.

In a Printer Template, those generators are referenced by the Printer Tags as {TICKET NO} and {ORDER NO}.

Using a Ticket Tag is different. You need to update Ticket Tags yourself (through Automation). In the case of using a Ticket Tag as an “auto-incrementing number”, you would do this in tandem with a Global (DB-stored) Program Setting, where you Update/Increase the Program Setting, then assign the Program Setting Value to a Ticket Tag of your choice.

The Tutorial on the V2 Forum will work for that purpose. The only thing that has changed is this part about the Printer Tag:

{TICKETTAG:Order No}

For V3, V4, V5, etc, that Printer Tag changed, and is referenced like this instead:

{TICKET TAG:Order No}

Notice the <space> between the words TICKET and TAG.

If you do not want the number to reset daily, then do not create the Rule for “Work Period Ended” event.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Now it is more clear. I will continue to use the method of tutorial V2. But what about the part in Sql? I can spice up your script the entry {TICKET TAG: Ricevuta N°}?

As I stated previously, the V2 Tutorial will work for this:
