Fields
The value of the Engineering item field determines the numbering of engineering items when:
If the Script field contains a script that increments the engineering item code, this script takes precedence over the value of the Engineering item field. The script will determine the numbering, and the value of the Engineering item field will be ignored. When a new engineering item is created by the Engineering Link, scripts do not affect the numbering, and the value of the Engineering item field is always used to increment the numbers.
You can use a script to compose an engineering item code to suit your needs. You might want to start the code with the initials of the user creating the engineering item.
The script you create must contain the function 'GenerateEngItemCode' and this function must return a unique part code.
