Object instances in PTC FlexPLM are identified by a string combining a scope prefix (VR or OR), a class string, and a numerical value.

OData services support the same identifiers under the ID field.

Colors are represented by their OR variant. Products are represented by the master OR. All other object instances are represented by their VR variant and the latest iteration.

Identifiers used in the URL (for example, <host>/Windchill/servlet/RFA-OData(‘OR:com.lcs.wc.color.LCSColor:12345’)) must be surrounded by single quotes.

Double quotes are not allowed.
