The position number is counted in increments of 10. See Configuration wizard to set up.
The field is alphanumeric with 20 digits.
Note: The order is not related to position number. It is defined in the list of BoMs by Drag&Drop, it reflects the order of entry by default. Position number must be unambiguous.
The following fields are available:
BEAS_STL.POS_TEXT = visible, alphanumeric ID
BEAS_STL.POS_ID = continuous unique ID
BEAS_STL.SORTID = determines sorting
Note on Update:
If you updated from an older version (Beas 9.1 PL: 07 and older) , the position text and sorting will be pre-assigned with the previous internal ID (POS_ID).
Advantages
✓Double Numbering possible (e.g. at maximal BoM)
✓Simpler sorting (Drag&Drop)
✓Changes of links to routings
✓Alphanumeric number assignment (Project manufacturer / Connection to PLM systems)
Example: Multiple assignment of same position number

The position 10 was assigned 3 times, respectively for a variant in this example.
Only one of the 3 positions is used in dependence of the variant, so that always the correct BoM could be created with the position numbers 10-20-30 without re-numbering.
Example: Alphanumeric Position number
Alphanumeric position numbers are often assigned at complex drawings.
Important: A sorting by the alphanumeric number position is not wanted here generally, because the alphanumeric positions are also used as position ID on a technical drawing.

Renumber at creating work order
The BoM can be renumbered automatically if a work order is created, but the parameter for this can be deactivated in the Configuration wizard.
Note: For phantom items, BoM positions are always renumbered – even when the parameter is off.
