Creating a tracking number for a form

What's a good (and easy) way to create a random tracking
number in a form? I would want this to be hidden from the user on
the HTML form but this tracking number would be processed by the
script in order to send the user the tracking number in an email.
The tracking number would be the same length each time but
randomly generated.

If it's in the HTML form, it's not really hidden. Even hidden
form
fields can be seen and manipulated. Instead generate the
number on the
server when you process the form data and keep it there,
never send it
to the client in an HTML form.
> The tracking number would be the same length each time

It should not be purely random, but be build using the
current timestamp
to avoid collisions. Or simply incremental, for example with
the current
year at first if you don't like too-short numbers:
2009-1
2009-2
2009-3
2010-1
2010-2
2010-3
There are a hundred ways, just don't make them purely random.
These
numbers should be unique, which randomness can't guarantee.

    Go to the Apple Store webpage and in the upper right go to Account and select Track an Order. There you will find the status of your order. You only get a tracking order when the items ships.

    Hello,
    we need to print an information on time statement form in dependence of a special substitution. Is there any possibility to create a new rule for printing form to use in time statement form? I can't find any information about this.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, I've tried this, but I get the error message:

    What am I doing wrong? Do I have to create a customer form class and assign a customer time statement form?
    Thanks for your information.

  • Tracking Number for Inbound Deliveries

    We are trying to get ASNs from our suppliers for their shipments. We would like to capture the carrier tracking number (e.g. the Fedex number) from the supplier. I'm using segment E1EDL47-TRACKN in the DELVRY03.DESADV idoc. I'm not able to get the tracking number in this segment to populate into the inbound delivery.
    Does anyone have any experience here? Are there some pre-requisites or config that I'm missing? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    Thank you for the help...I think we are getting closer with the FM you mentioned. Let me provide some further information on this....we are using the FM IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1 which states the following for E1EDL47 and 48 (still not too sure which we have to use). Not too sure where to go from here to decipher what is currently being used. Any further direction would be helpful

  • Tracking number for shipped to store items?

    Hello,
    I placed an order on Monday, and I was wondering if I could find the tracking number somewhere? It's for an i7 3770k (can't wait to get into in my hands) .

    Hello there jonjryjo-
    Oh no you don’t!  You don’t get off that easily!  You posted here on the Best Buy Forums and now I am obligated by an obscure county law to respond to your post!  Thanks for creating extra work for me! 
    As you may now know, you order has arrived and I hope that you are enjoying your new i7!  It looks like for this particular order, the items were being shipped to the store from another store, so you wouldn’t normally see any tracking information.  However, for orders shipped to your home, you should receive an email with tracking information. 
    I’m glad to hear it arrived before you expected it, we aim to please!

  • How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
    To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

  • Has anyone gotten a tracking number for their iPhone 6?

    Hello all, I pre ordered an unlocked 64gb Space Gray iPhone 6 via apple.com at about 6:30 A.M. on 9/12. They still had some in stock, because my delivery date has always been 9/19 by standard shipping. Has anyone gotten a tracking number when ordering via apple? When i log into my account to look at my order, it says Preparing for Shipment. It has done this since saturday night. But on my Apple support profile, it lists my 6 as a device with the serial number; and I have heard that this means it has shipped. So, what is it? And has anyone recieved a shipment notification or tracking number yet when ordering via apple? Thanks in advance!

    9/19 delivery means 9/19 delivery.  Be patient.  UPS probably asked Apple not to release tracking info until Thursday.

  • How do i get a tracking number for my shipment

    i sent my phone in a week ago to get a new one or they were going to repair it but i dont have a tracking number to shipment and my account is saying i dont have a shipment out how do i fix this problem

    Apple always sends a pre-paid shipping box. The tracking number is on the label. If you were not dealing with Apple, then you can contact whomever you shipped the phone to.
    These are user forums. You are not speaking to Apple here. If you shipped to Apple then you can call them directly or you can contact the shipper for help, but we can't really help you.

  • Tracking number for the iPhone 6 Plus

    My card was charged last night for the iPhone 6 Plus order, and there was a tracking number generated for my order. However, it starts with 1Z047V, and I couldn't track it on Fedex's website (it says the tracking number is invalid). I searched the tracking number on Google, and it appears to be a UPS tracking number, but I couldn't get any information on UPS' website either. Anyone knows about this situation? Thanks!

    Same as mine. You should get an email later with the tracking number again and it will list UPS Business 2-day delivery. It won't show up on the UPS site until after midnight or after it has been picked up/scanned in. Hope this helps!

  • Can I create a skype number for some else?

    I was creating a skype number, then realized that it might be attached to my skype account.  Is that true, or is the skype number independent of my skype account, and doesn't have to be create on my friend's skype account.

    Hi, whoisgarrick, and welcome to the Community,
    Your hunch is correct: the Skype Number will be attached to your Skype account.   If your friend desires a Skype Number, they should sign on to their account so the number is affiliated with their Skype account and payment method.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Verizon don't have tracking number for prepaid UPS Shipping?

    I shipped back all equipments using Prepaid UPS shipping. I was afraid to drop in any UPS box so I handed the box to the UPS person who comes to our office builing every day. Now Verizon says they did not receive the box and charge me almost $800 for the equipment. According to Verizon shipping instruction, 'customers are reponsible for equiment until reurned to UPS/USPS', and that was eaxctly what I did. I called customer service and was told I was supposed to write down the tracking number. I don't see anywhere that this was written on the shipping instruction or anywhere saying verizon that prepaid the shipping would not have tracking number. What's going on here?  

    The tracking number was on the label. This should have been written down even if instructions said to or not. It's just common sense to have some type of proof of delivery.
    That number was proof the package was signed for and delivered. Without some type of proof you are going to have a very had time proving that they received it. It's basically your word against there's without it.
    All you can do is call them and see if they can look into it for you.

  • Does apple supply tracking number for reseller orders?

    Hello.
    I bought an iMac exactly a week ago (Monday 23rd July) from the reseller my girlfriend works for. I managed to get everything at cost price and bought it under my company so I could write the tax off, all up managed to get $1100 off the retail price. Deal. My girlfriend gave me the order number that was sent to the reseller she works for so I could track it on the order status website, which I did. It's showing that it was shipped on the 25th July, however. There has been no tracking number update, and no carier update either. So I was curious as to whether apple even worries about updating these because it was probably ordered with a whole bunch of stuff, so to track it would mean having to track the whole shipping container etc..? Am I on the right track? Or should I be worried as to why there hasn't been an update?
    Thanks for your help,
    Trent.W

    HI trent, not sure, but I suspect they don't provide any Reseller Tracking, only the Reseller would/could.

    Hi Lavanya,
    Your requirement can be fulfilled but not recommended...
    As you want to generate different position number at different stage of employment....
    i.e Trainee to Probation to Permanent...
    First go for Trainee Position Hiring ....  and generate first Number Say 5000000
    Then suppose employee complete training after 1 Yrs.. then again go PA 40 enter date as 01.01.2015 say... & execute... & give Ref. Personnel Number (5000000) & different position number... this time...
    This will link up all the personnel date from previous hiring record... & as per your need you can modify it.... Finally one more number be generated....
    Similarly,, you can do for Permanent employee...
    Once training or Probation period gets completed you can lock/ separate that employee  number
    Report ...
    You can get necessary details in IT0031...& with different Position numbers which you will using at different stage of hiring...
    Hope this should sort your issue..
    Regards,
    Veeram
