Hi,

Is it possible for IFS to generate a unique Configuration ID per item raised on a customer order? 

At the moment it is creating a new number however once the configuration is saved, if there has been the same item booked previously in the same configuration it is automatically assigning it to an old Config ID.

Ideally we want every item to have its own new unique configuration ID.

 

Many Thanks

If the configuration is the same, then it is logical core functionality that the configuration ID is reused.  If you want the configuration to be unique for every order or every customer or version of product, then it really isn’t a configuration.  That sounds more like serialization or even a project that you are attempting to mimic.  I don’t know your business model, but you can use the project module to create a unique project per product per customer order line by connecting the line to a project activity.  This has a similar effect in inventory tracking to make the same catalog number unique by also connecting the item to a project.  But that would take exploration and workshops to determine if that solution provides the unique identifier you seek.
