Next Warranty certificate num
The Next Warranty Certificate Number doesn't make sense. If the limit is set to 100000 and you have multiple Warranty Templates and set the next certificate number eventually these numbers will collide. For example, if you have a 30 Day Warranty and set it to 1 and a 1 Year and set it to 50000 eventually the 30 Day Warranty Certificate Num is going to reach 50000. Then what? You should be able to prefix each Certificate with a letter maybe.

Hey, I was in your same boat of logic in thinking this was a problem, so I did some testing and wanted to share in case others have the same issue.
-Certificate Numbers do not need to be unique! They can run over on each other with no negative impact. The numbers serve no purpose in the system other than what gets printed on the PDF.
-You can start all warranty templates at Cert# 1 if you want, and then you have an easy count of the total number of that warranty you've sold.
-The max certificate # you can start with is 100,000, but it still works beyond that and continues to increment 100,001+So in my opinion, just start all your warranty numbers at something like 1000 and just let them all increment as they end up doing.
