Thanks to everyone who responded!!

Kurt,
Were you asking what transactions triggers this number to increment? Or just how you can do it yourself without necessarily creating a transaction in the system?

Thanks Amélie,
Yes, we're doing something similar. If I can find something definite out on this, I'll let you know!

It makes more sense now….I think you are going to have issues with it because the numbers are generated from several places, not just one screen.
Anything that hits the Quality module gets the next nonconforming number. So whether I receive a part from a PO that has inspection required checked to actually going to Non-Conformance and creating a transaction there.
This number is incremented from several different places.
I don’t know if that will help, but good luck and sorry I could add more than that!

Hi Manasa,
Thanks for your reply. We are actually looking to do it ourselves and not involve Vantage. That's where our problem comes in. We can't see what the next TranID would be if it was run through Vantage. If we ran the external app, assigned a TranID (based on
the highest current tranid in the nonconf table +1), then for some reason if we did run the nonconformance through Vantage, we would like to have the numbers still work out in order. I don't know if there is a table that keeps track of used TranID's because
it didn't recognize when we manually changed one in the nonconf table. That leads us to kind of figure that it might look elsewhere for the next sequential ID number. Like I mentioned earlier, we manually plugged a larger TranID in the nonconf table to see
if it would increment using this number, but when we ran Vantage after that, it assigned what would have been the next sequential ID using the I D number before we fudged the ID ourselves. It snubbed it's Vantage nose at the number we put in. That's why we
think it tracks these numbers somewhere we can't find. Sound confusing?
Thanks again Manasa!
Kurt
