>>>Hi everybody,

>>>                {
>>>                    salespointsService.getLastLocSuffix().then(function (data) {
>>>                        var suffix = data.lastLocSuffix.locSuffix + 1;
>>>                        salespoint.locSuffix = suffix;
>>>                    });
>>>                }
>>>
>>>                salespointsService.createSalespoint(salespoint).then(function (data) {
>>>                    $rootScope.$broadcast('salespoints:doSearch', true);
>>>                    $scope.alertType = 'success';
>>>                    $scope.alertMessage = 'Salespoint successfully added.';
>>>                    $scope.isNew = false;
>>>                    $scope.currentSalespoint = data;
>>>                    $scope.form.$setPristine();
>>>                    $scope.disableAction = false;
>>>                });
>>>            };

>>>But it seems that createSalespoint happens before the new suffix is calculated, so that new value is not updated.

>>It's because your salespointsService.getLastLocSuffix() is asynchronous. Nest the call to salespointsService.createSalespoint inside it. Or, if speed is a factor, build a $q.all

Probably makes sense. When you call createSalespoint it can assign the next suffix and return the object with that field completed......
