Serial numbers across PRC part numbers

Hi,

I am having trouble setting a global serial number that is unique across PRC part numbers. I am looking for a serial number format that I can set in the default format that will be unique across different part numbers. The config settings appear to imply that this is possible but I am not sure that my settings are correct

I am attempting to set the follow config settings:
Force unique serial numbers = 1
Unique serial numbers only within a PRC part = 0
Serial Global increment = 1

But when generating part numbers it only remains unquie within a single part number.

Am I missing something or is this not a capability within CETEC?

Thank you!
Paul

are there any community members using automated global serialization within CETEC?

This should be possible… it sounds like your config settings are set correctly if this is the aim.

What is your “serial format” keyword in Admin >> Config Settings >> Formats (Serials etc.) - ? Also, do you have serial formats specified in the part records themselves (if so, those would override and establish uniqueness… which is not what you want).
