Quick question on number group setup in an environment where both Procurement and Projects are used.
We inherited a configuration where both modules share the same series prefix and starting number (tcmcs0150m000 / tcmcs0151m000). The series run independently, so the numbers diverge quickly in practice.
Two things I'm trying to get a better feel for:
1. Is sharing a prefix and series across Procurement and Projects generally considered good practice, or is a dedicated prefix per module the more common approach? The documentation seems to link the identical-series feature mainly to 1-on-1 cross-company record linking, wondering if there are other valid scenarios.
2. If you were to introduce a distinct prefix for one of the modules in a live system, how involved is that typically? Particularly curious about open documents, historical records, and any integrations that might have assumptions baked in around the existing number format.
Happy to hear how others have handled this.
