So are you looking for something like:

CustomerOne gets codes 001-001, 001-002, 001-003, etc.

CustomerTwo gets codes 002-001, 002-002, 002-003, etc.

CustomerThree gets codes 003-001, 003-002, 003-003, etc.

If so you could have a code for each customer which starts the voucher number then a voucher sequence code which ends the voucher number. Then simply increment the voucher sequence code by using a self relationship to the file by CustomerID.

(i.e. Auto-entered data, VoucherSeqCode = Self by CustomerID::VoucherSeqCode) where the Self by CustomerID relationship would be sorted by VoucherSeqNumber in descending order so that that highest number is the first record.

Now, of cource there is a bunch of different way to do this, so do not feel that this is the only way to accomplish this.
