The system performs the following:
If you have chosen automatic generation of the engineering document number and “Allow Num Type Change” has been set to “Yes”, the system generates the Eng. Doc # based on the Numbering Type selected. However, if the Numbering Type is not selected, the system generates the Eng. Doc # based on the default Numbering Type defined in “Eng. Doc. Type Attributes”.
If you have chosen automatic generation of the engineering document number and “Allow Num Type Change” has been set to “No”, the system generates Eng. Doc # based on the default Numbering Type defined in “Eng. Doc. Type Attributes” irrespective of the value selected by the user.
If you have chosen “Numbering Logic” as “Configured” and “Allow Num Type Change” has been set to “Yes”, the system generates the Eng. Doc # based on the Numbering Type selected in ‘Create Eng Doc ‘ Page. However, if the Numbering Type is not selected, the system generates the Eng.
