Building WTPart number by adding values from enumerated lists

[sdicarlo]

Can WTPart numbers be built by choosing values from several enumerated lists and adding the values together to create one final part number?

60SSMMM-ZZZR

• 60 is the root number for Material
• S is the shape of the material as supplied (01= round, 02=hex, etc.)
• M is the material code (030=ams qq-s-763, 022 = ams qq-a-225, etc.)
• Z is the size( 3 digit integer)
• R is the random or sequential number (one digit integer)

This can be done via OIR, assuming shape, material code, and size are attributes on WTPart and their values are set by the user while creating WTPart. Then this can be done using OIR.

If your attribute values do not need any manipulation/calculation, then simply update OIR. If manipulation and calculation are needed, then create a custom rule algorithm. Refer to the articles below:

• How to implement and use your custom RuleAlgorithm in Windchill PDMLink
• Attribute value set to the string "(Generated)" when using attribute constraint algorithm "com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerAssignedConstraint"

As number calculation is planned after submitting the part creation, make sure to use com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerAssignedConstraint constraint for the number.
Hope this helps.

Thanks
