I agree with what others have said, these types of systems are great if everyone uses them correctly and buys into them. Usually, the easiest way to do this is to make everything is as easy as possible to do correctly.

We've never used SW to assign part numbers. It's been similar to the current system where the web app assigns you the next available number.
