I would like understand how to record a serial number vs a date in effectivity.

So how do you add an Effectivity Type other than a Date and the qualifier can be specific serial number.

We are using Windchill 12.1

Hi @BL_10161374

About the serial numbers you can read all library and you would still have a questions 😄

You specify a specific range of serial numbers that the design apply.

For example car has a serial number VIN and the CAD design apply for VIN from 1200001 to 1200501

so one design apply just for 500 cars.

PS: based on effectivity you can filter the WTPart structure.

Hi,

Technically you can go to the Type and Attribute management and add a new effectivity type (from a UI perspective), however you need to do customization to make your new effectivity type to work in a Config filter (as mentioned by @HelesicPetr ).

Before going into the technical aspects, what is your use case? What other effectivity type your business needs? (if you can give a hint without disclosing any propreitary information).

We may need to look in to configuration management perspective based on your need. Technical solution will come once that is settled.

Cheers
