Change the start and increment values for a find number

You can configure how find numbers are generated for structure elements by changing their starting value and increment value.

To define the starting value to be applied while generating a find number for the first occurrence in a BOM View Revision (BVR), you must set the TC_BOM_INITIAL_SEQUENCE_NUMBER preference. The default value of this preference is 10, and you can specify any positive integer as a valid value.

To define the default increment to be applied while generating a sequence number for a subsequent occurrence under a BVR, you must set the TC_BOM_SEQUENCE_NUMBER_INCREMENT preference. The default value of this preference is 10, and you can specify any positive integer as a valid value.
