Configurator Record Creation 10.2.600

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if anyone else has come across this or if it is just me. In our configurators we have the following set up for record creation;


This works fine in our current version (10.1.500.28) but on our upgrade Test environment, we are getting PartNumber-1-2 instead of PartNumber-QuoteNum-LineNum. Does anyone have any idea what the cause may be?
Thanks
Adrian

Yes, you are correct. There was a change in 10.2.500 with the Start and End Positions.
The part numbers are only generating the first character of the part number when the Start Position and End Position are both set to 0. You can change your Postions to a maximum length of 50.

Example (prior to 10.2.500.3)
Input Value Start End Result
Example 0 0 Example
Example 0 1 Ex
Example 0 2 Exa
Example 1 1 x

After 10.2.500.3
The change defines 50 characters as a max per input, if the length is surpassed there is existing logic that truncates the value, also allows returning the first letter.
Input Value Start End Result
Example 0 0 E
Example 0 1 Ex
Example 0 2 Exa
Example 1 1 x
Example 0 50 Example

Thanks Mindy, I had no idea the part number generation had changed. At least it’s not a massive job to change all the configurators. What’s next I wonder!
