Cloud Functional Object

@Frank H normally the mch_code is a free text field so that users could define their own values.

However at DB level, there’s a DB sequence EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ which is global (across all sites) and shared between serial objects and functional objects. This sequence is increased everytime a new FO or Serial Object is created and the value is stored in Equipment_Object_Seq field in the equipment_object_tab table.

What you could do is the following:

• custom event on creation of new FO to get EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ.currval + 1 and modify the mch_code with the number that you get by colling the sequence +1
• modification:
  • create your own DB sequence
  • modify the Equipment_Object_API.New to take the next number from your own defined sequence and put it in the mch_code field.

You would need quite a bit of IFS technical knowledge to pull off any of these options.
