Object Numbers Case-Sensitivity
Windchill solutions and SAP share the following case-sensitivity characteristics:
Both store all object numbers using only uppercase characters.
If a user enters an object number using lowercase characters in either the Windchill solution or SAP, the object number will be converted to uppercase characters in the database﹒
In addition, all object numbers sent from Windchill PDMLink only contain uppercase letters.
