We use a number like:

201001123: Year, month, number of the project started that month
We extend it with a 3 digit organization tag , like YAM for Yamaha.

Nice thing is that when we enter a new project in our current system, automatically a location is generated where people involved can store their files. Perfect fit between local files and project management.
As soon as project is closed, the files can be backuped keeping the file server clean and with project number easy retrieval is possible (current system keeps the archieved project data available).
If you have a solution like this we'll consider AC immediately!

Awesome Daniel!

That is exactly what we would like to do. I like it with the YAM in front so it automatically sorts by client when listed alphabetically.

A project number generator is a definite must for our usage

Also needed for our use.

I guess this doesn't rate.

Would be really great if job numbers could be integrated with time tracking.
