You can do that with some limitations.In a profile db document put a number field called nextNumber.

When a document is created, take that number. When a document is saved for first time, confirm the number, confirm save operation and increment the profile field number.

Sorry for my english

Subject: No! Don’t use a profile document for serial numbering

The profile is cached in each workstation’s memory, so you will get duplications.
