ME60 Next_Number maintenance custom field

56 Views

Hi,

In ME6.0, we create a material level custom data field PRODUCT_TYPE and maintained the value in Material Maintenance, then we want to setup the Next_Number for SFC and make this custom data field value passing to the SFC number as a parameter, here is what I set in next number maintenance:

%ITEM_BO.(PRODUCT_TYPE)%%DATE_TIME.[MMM]%C

But when I tried to release the SFC in shop order release, the SFC number is generated as ITEM_BO.(PRODUCT_TYPE)NOVC0000026, it seems the ITEM_BO.(PRODUCT_TYPE) is an invalid parameter. I am pretty sure the similar setup works in ME 5.x

Can you please guide me what wrong with my setup?

Best regards,

Leon

PS - I also tested the %ITEM_BO(PRODUCT_TYPE)%%DATE_TIME.[MMM]%C, without the period, but same result.
