Dear MDM experts,
I am working on a new project using MDM as the SOR of PS project master data. And the main function we need is to generate number for projects.
I know that we can create ports that could provide number range via a lookup table, however there's one problem that I am still sticking with, which is to generate sequencial number for project. Here's the details:
All projects could be either a parent project, or a child project that is under a certain parent project. One parent project could have multiple child projects.
The naming requirement is, whatever the parent project number is, its child project's prj number should be PARENT_PROJECT_NUMBER-01, -02, -03....
For example, I have a parent project called TJ14SJ302000001, so all its child project number should be
TJ14SJ302000001-01
TJ14SJ302000001-02
TJ14SJ302000001-03
...
How can I do that using MDM, can anyone give me a clue? I have considered calculation expression function in the field, but then I find it's dynamic which means when the total number of child projecgt increases, the COUNT will increase as well so the number is changing....I'm not thinking of a workflow with assignments but want to know if that's the right direction...
Regards,
