Body
You could do this with a custom module using the <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!node!node.api.php/function/hook_node_presave/7" rel="nofollow">node_presave</a> hook. The users only enter the prefix value into the 'invoice_number' field. Before the node is saved to the database your hook does the following: if the node is of type 'invoice' and has not yet been saved 'nid == 0' <ul> <li>gets the current year</li> <li>gets the current number of invoices for this year (either from a stored variable or a database query)</li> <li>alters the field value and appends the year/number</li> </ul> So something along the lines of this: <pre><code><?php function mymodule_node_presave($node){ if (($node->type == 'invoice') && ($node->nid == 0)) { //node has not been saved //get the current year $this_year = date('Y'); if ($count = variable_get('invoice_count_'.$this_year,0)){ //have the invoice number }else{ //get the number of invoices created this year from DB $count_query = "SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT nid)) FROM {node} WHERE type = :type AND FROM_UNIXTIME(created,'%Y') = :year"; $count = db_query($count_query,array(':type'=>'invoice',':year'=>$this_year))->fetchField(); } $invoice_count = $count; //append number with 0's? $invoice_count = str_repeat('0',(3-strlen($invoice_count))).$invoice_count; //alter the field value and append the year.number $node->field_invoice_number['und'][0]['value'].=$this_year.$invoice_count; //save the increment variable_set('invoice_count_'.$this_year,($count+1)); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
