[Koha] Control number fields (001)

[Elaine Bradtke]

Is there a way to auto generate 001 fields in Koha?

We already have numbers that came in with uploaded records from our old
database.
Anything we download will likely have a control number  from the
original cataloguing agency - which I'm thinking of modifying by adding a
letter prefix, so it can't possibly duplicate what we've already got in the
system.

But what about original cataloguing?  I'd hate to think we just have to
guess. . .
Just off the top of my head, using YYYYMMDD followed by a two digit
sequential number should do the trick. But it would be a lot easier if
something like that could be auto generated.  It's unlikely we would ever
have more than one person cataloguing at once, but one never knows.
