Component ID Suffix with Parent item
A
Andrew Hill
Please could i request that the component ID of the parent item can also be selected to be suffixed instead of prefixed. This just works more for our internal nomenclature
It would be even better if "ParentItemCompID" could be added as part of the structure of component ID building (ie dropdown option like Subcategory)

So, if parent package is P-64
A speaker inside it would be
P-64-SPK-04
Like that?

Hi Sandeep Panesar, what you are suggesting is a prefix, i would like the parent component ID to come after the the items ID

So something like this: CompIdPrefix-01-ParentCompId ?

Hi Kevin Frye so in the mange project component ID it would read like this for us, for example for our bulk wire if the Parent CompID for a product is (D4.LIV)01 the type we would like to set for the bulk wire is as follows
Line 1 > CategoryAbbreviation
> Separator "."
Line 2 > SubCategoryAbbreviation
> Separator "none"
Line 3 > (ParentCompID)
> Separator ":"
CBL.C6U(D4.LIV)01:1
with the ability that the increment for each cable occurs aswell. so we ened up with the following for a 4no CAT6 data outlet
CBL.C6U(D4.LIV)01:1
CBL.C6U(D4.LIV)01:2
CBL.C6U(D4.LIV)01:3
CBL.C6U(D4.LIV)01:4
