The numbering of all objects is controlled from an OIR (Object Initialization Rule).

The number can be either manual or sequenced from the database. If sequenced, the system does skip numbers, depending on how you have it setup will  determine how it skips them.

You would need to be a system admin in order to modify the rules.

By resetting the numbering, be aware that Windchill can only have that number in its system one time,

Hello Ben,

Thank You very much for replying.

I did change in the OIR's and it is for a specific subtype of a document. When i change the numbers it's starting from some random numbers. When i change it back to the original OIR it's starting from those numbers. I think i'll have to reset in the database. We are using MSSQL, if you know or help with the commands to reset it it'll be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Ben,

If you know the MSSAL command to reset or change the starting number, can you please provide me the command.

Thanks,

Kiran
