Background

Generated serial number in document code is wrong. If document code is generated automatically e.g. AZ-EOB-001; AZ-EOB-002; AZ-EOB-003; AZ-EOB-004… and someone creates new document and manually sets serial number e.g. 300 then document is created with this document code 'AZ-EOB-300'. Since then, each document that has been added further continues from this point 300, 301, 302..

Steps to Accomplish

Option 1 Search and delete documents with incorrect serial number

1. Use Search Form in ProjectWise Explorer to search all documents that have incorrect document code e.g. 'AZ-EOB-3*'.

2. Export those documents with incorrect document code to local drive (so you could import them later with the correct document code).

3. Delete those documents.
