We use our Job Number and a date code as serial number prefix for assemblies, then a sequential number.
In Vantage 8, we could alter the prefix to match the current job we want to generate numbers for.
In testing E10, we can change the format on the main screen of Part Entry and save it.
When we go to generate the numbers for the job, it has the last used prefix on screen and it is un alterable.
I just got off the phone with support and they claim this is by design and results from there being inventory on hand with the old prefix. They also claim this was an enhancement.
This is not acceptable behavior for our business. We continuously manufacture assembles ahead of running out of on hand inventory.
Can anyone offer a work around for this seemingly insane behavior for generating serial numbers within Epicor 10
