   Hi, thanks for the kind words!

   You can defer generation with the current version — just create the voucher quietly so auto-generation doesn't fire, then generate on confirm:

   // On create — voucher_no stays null
   $voucher = new Voucher($data);
   $voucher->saveQuietly();
   
   // On confirm
   $voucher->voucher_no = $voucher->generateReference();
   $voucher->save();

   Just make the column nullable: $table->string('voucher_no')->nullable()->unique()->index();

   This is a bit of an edge case, so I don't think it needs a dedicated feature in the package — saveQuietly() covers it well. Only thing to keep in mind is that it skips other model events on that insert too.

   Hope that helps!
