Hi Terrance,

Sometime back I read about this. I think you need to use the expression like

   -

   ORG_UNIT_CODE(…) + "-" + CURRENT_DATE(yyyyww) + "-" + SEQUENTIAL(#####)


Instead of using the function concatenate. Please refer the below link for
more details:

   https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/working-with-textpattern.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards

MSP
