Is it best practice during a production cutover to have the Automatic Number Values app be empty or have records that are set to initial values like 0? Also, if we populate these values in our test environment, will they be copied to our production environment?
Automatic number values are ok to be left empty upon implementation. When transactions start hitting the system, they’ll get created & defaulted based on the initial # defined on the auto number definition.
If you’re just copying metadata over from test to production, then auto number values will not be copied over. Just auto number definitions.
