I have a user requesting that we make it so that there can’t be duplicate serial numbers in IFS where there are different part numbers. As far as I can tell, this seems to be a feature of IFS. Is my thinking on this correct? We have a few cases with duplicate serial numbers but different part numbers associated with each.

You are correct - this is by design.
An interesting topic for a Custom Event. On insert check the Serial No value against the table and error out if the new value exists.
Some places IFS creates the Serial Number (e.g. in advance on Shop Orders). I suppose certain background operations would just fail if you already had a Serial No value for a different part when one of those processes executed.
