I am someone can help point me in the right direction. We have a question regarding serial tracking. We would like to be able to issue a global, sequential serial number across all parts vs part number specific but can’t seem to find any company configurations or serial masking that would allow us to do so. When we use lot tracking (Track Lots), the Lots --> Generate tab allows us to make a selection of Non Part Specific which gives us the option to allow the system to assign the next number in sequence available across all parts. This is ideally what we want to do with our serial numbers. However, right now we have to select a mask at every part and the sequencing starts at zero for each part and counts up for that specific part only.
This is what is currently happening:
Part x – serial #1
Part y – serial #1
Part z – serial #1
Part x again – serial #2
Part a – serial #1
This is what we want:
Part x – serial # 1
Part y – serial # 2
Part z – serial # 3
Part x again – serial #4
Part a – serial #5
Thanks for any insight!
