Business Number Rule for SHIPMENT_XID

[tangfj]

Hello,

I have a requirement where we need our shipment xid to be a reference number value (from the shipment) plus a sequential number. Per this requirement I have tried to change the business number rule for SHIPMENT_XID.DEFAULT to {r*:xml=REFNUM/PO}-{nnnnn:start=01000} instead of just {nnnnn:start=01000}.

In addition to this I've also edited the BN CONTEXT ID on the business number type of SHIPMENT_XID from EMPTY_CONTEXT to SHIPMENT_CONTEXT.

Unfortunately, this did not work. I keep on getting -01000 instead of what I would like which is PO-01000. Does anyone have experience with changing the shipment xid via bn rules? I've also tried this with {r*:xml=BASE}-{nnnnn:start=01000} and {r*:xml=REFNUM/GLOG}-{nnnnn:start=01000} and neither of those worked. With both of those I kept on getting -01000. When i put in just {r*:xml=BASE} without the extension, I just get an error where OTM says that it cannot create a XID with a null value. In any case, if anyone knows how to make this work please let me know!

Thanks!

Are you saying you want to include in the shipment xid a refnum of that shipment? If so, this is not possible. The BNG runs before persisting the shipment in the database, so shipment refnums do not exist at that time.

We are trying to prefix the source location GID to the Invoice followed by a running number ....

Re: Business Number Rule for SHIPMENT_XID

We were able to configure the following scenario and it is working when we test it. But, when we use it for the transaction, it is not working:

Scenario: To generate invoice number as "INV-<Location ID>-<Running Number>"

Output in Test BN Type: "INV-<Location ID>-<Running Number>"

Invoice Number Generated using shipment settlement actions: "INV--000001", etc. - Location ID is not displayed.

Can someone help us crack this?

I assume this is still not solved until now at 2020 current otm verion. Shipment_xid is a default BN type, then we can't change its context to different value other than empty context, then we can't use any r*:xml..
Please let us know if there another way..
