Setting counters

All,
We have a numbering system for employees, clients, suppliers, as well as
invoices, Purchase orders [which are still outside GNUCash :( ], and
vendors bills.
In our world the following applies:
Employees #: sequential from 000001
Client #: sequential from 100001
Supplier #: sequential from 200001
Likewise with invoices, POs and bills:
Invoices #: sequential from 100000
Bill #: sequential from 200000
PO #: [presently same as Bill #],
but may change to sequential from 300000
We also have Employee expenses which we enter as regular invoices with a
number format of yyyymm-emp# - I tried using the "new" expense voucher
features but needed the taxation features of an invoice [so we could
track input tax credits].
Through a little experimentation, I believe I have discovered how to set
the default invoice number.
In the following section at the head of account file:
slot>
<slot:key>counters</slot:key>
<slot:value type="frame">
<slot>
<slot:key>gncInvoice</slot:key>
<slot:value type="integer">1</slot:value>
</slot>
</slot:value>
</slot>
I changed
<slot:value type="integer">1</slot:value>
to
<slot:value type="integer">100000</slot:value>
This appears to work...
Now, what are the attribute value pairs for bill, employee, customer,
and vendor?
Thanks
Roy
