Intelligent Part Number (IPN) Support for NX.
Solution
Teamcenter intelligent part numbering is a way to create more descriptive object names through ID generation rules. An ID generation rule in Teamcenter is a rule that generates an item ID with additional counters or property values appended to it. It is similar to a naming rule. When an ID generation rule is attached to the item_id property on an item business object, you can generate an item ID using the specifications in the rule.
The Teamcenter BMIDE is used to define and control ID generation rules, property values, and so on for intelligent part numbering.
In the NX you can create an item ID that contains information that helps to describe or further identify the part using the Teamcenter intelligent part numbering functionality. Other users can look at the item ID and quickly identify the characteristics of the part. Intelligent part numbering is set up and enabled in Teamcenter, and is automatically available in NX.
So, with NX1926 onwards Intelligent Part Number has been supported. Also, with NX1953 release has further improved the support for the said functionality. For additional information, you can refer to NX documentation for the same.
