Understanding automatic assignment of machine ID
Assignment of machine id works as follows:
Each time you click new on machine, a new machineid should be used.
The next number is saved in the document number file right away.
The reason why this has to happen is that the system has to be ready in case another person creates a machine.
If you close the new machine window, that machine id will be lost,
The things you can do include:
You can change the machineid of any new machine and make it be the id number you want,
You can change the next machinid in document numbers to reset the last number used if you do not use a number
