Q. When I import a BOM (in QBi) with no Internal P/N assigned, does it automatically go to the next sequential number?
A. The user has the option of auto numbering or manual numbering.
AUTO Numbering: The main concern when creating a part number is not to ensure a sequential part numbering by class, but rather the ability to track additional information (AVL, on hand qty, where used, standard cost) by one internal part number. Because of this, the actual number doesn't really matter as long as the system knows which additional information to attach to the internal part number. This is why ManEx works as well with a manually created number as with an auto-generated number. If you use auto-numbering, the numbers can be arranged on the shelf in ascending order (even if there are gaps between the numbers). The auto-numbering in ManEx simplifies the part number creation process and provides a count of the total parts in your system (141-0001000 is the 1000th part loaded).
MANUAL Numbering: This will allow user to use any part numbering method.
