Hello,

I have a model ...

class PurchaseOrder(models.Model):
    po_number = models.IntegerField(unique=True)


and a function ...

def get_po_number(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if not self.id:
        last_po = PurchaseOrder.objects.order_by('po_number').last()
        if last_po:
            last_po_num = last_po.po_number[-2:]
            new_po_num = int(last_po_num) + 1
        else:
            new_po_num = '0001'
        self.po_number = new_po_num
        return self.po_number


what I'm trying to do is use the get_po_number() function to get a default 
value for the po_number field in the model. However when I set the default 
in the model like so... 

class PurchaseOrder(models.Model):
    po_number = models.IntegerField(unique=True, 
default=get_po_number(self))

it says "NameError: name 'self' is not defined"


What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
