Ability to have different job numbers for each visit of a recurring job

We have had this a few times before - but the recurring job numbers always use the same job number as the one preceding it.

We need the option to select if this issues a new job number on job create, or uses the existing job number - perhaps also the option to prefix the existing job number i.e. 1234-01, 1234-02, 1234-03 etc.

    Hey Peter - thanks for the suggestion and the in-depth explanation of your way of working. I'll pick it up with the original requester and go from there! Much appreciated.

    Koenig & Bauer use the Clone feature that sound like it does this already:

    Two methods of cloning:-

    First method:

    Original job number 100-51

    Clone job number 100-51 for the additional Technician on the same job and the job ticket becomes 100-51 (1)

    Clone job number 100-51 again for a further additional Technician and the next job ticket becomes 100-51(2)

    Second method

    Original job ticket number 100-51

    Clone job ticket number 100-51 for a return visit and the next job ticket becomes 100-51(1)

    Clone job ticket number 100-51(1) and the next job ticket becomes 100-51(1)(1)

    Clone job ticket 100-51(1)(1) for another return visit and the next job ticket becomes 100-51(1)(1)(1)

    Clone job ticket 100-51(1)(1)(1) for yet another return visit and the next job ticket becomes 100-51(1)(1)(1)(1)

    etc etc

    Note: at the time of cloned job ticket 100-51 (1)(1)(1) which is the 3rd return visit, this triggers a Management Escalation email alert
