Starting Number in Auto numbering

[ChiragBarot]

Where do we specify starting of the number or prfix In autonumbering customization for Windchill ?

i.e. I want numbers to start 230010x (x being incremented every time)

Thx

Manually in the database for that particular sequence.  Let me look for the command...

You could also set the 230010 as a prefix in your OIR for new parts then use a sequence table for the rest of your number.

As with any number sequence table, it may generate numbers that never get used. You also need to set the sequence increment to 1 instead of the default, I think it is 10.

Where within OIR ?

Could please you add snippet of pic ?

I also checked in prefs ....no luck

Only if the '10' at the end is not expected to increment.  Depends on what behavior is desired.

OIR Method:

2300101

2300102

...

2300109

23001010

23001011

...

23001099

230010100

230010101

Set Sequence Method:

2300101

2300102

...

2300109

2300110

2300111

...

2300199

2300200

2300201
