It works by defining patterns using three group types: literals (immutable text in parentheses), numerics (variable numbers in braces), and characters (looping sequences in brackets). When a new part is created or modified, the plugin can automatically assign the next IPN in the sequence by incrementing the rightmost mutable group.\n\nThe plugin requires Python 3.9+ and integrates directly into InvenTree's plugin system. It offers settings to enable/disable the plugin, control whether IPNs are assigned on part creation, and control whether they are assigned on part changes. The documentation notes a known limitation: when the rightmost numeric or character group rolls over its maximum value, the plugin loops back to the first IPN, which can cause duplicates if InvenTree allows them, or errors if it does not.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run InvenTree and need automated IPN assignment. The plugin is straightforward to install, has no external dependencies, and is permissively licensed. However, be aware that the project is aging with no updates since 2024-10-08, and the documentation explicitly flags a known issue with IPN rollover causing duplicates or errors. Test thoroughly in a non-production environment first."},"id":"inventree-ipn-generator","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inventree-ipn-generator","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inventree-ipn-generator.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/inventree-ipn-generator/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"inventree-ipn-generator","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"InvenTree plugin to automatically generate and assign Internal Part Numbers to parts"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":96927,"position":13184,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.2"}
