Same Asset Number needed in a different EAM org
In Org-A, Asset Number T1 (in Asset Group AG1) already defined. Unable to define Asset Number T1 in Org-B under any Asset Group as it leads to Instance number uniqueness error.
Has anyone come across where the business insists to define the same Asset Number that was already defined in a different org? Is there any solution other than defining these Asset Numbers with different names?

The EAM R12 User guide makes it also very clear on this business requirement saying "The Asset Serial Number might have a non-unique value across organizations, but the Asset Number must be globally unique, regardless of the defaulting value. When an asset number generates automatically at receipt by the Deliver to Inventory transaction, it defaults to the Item Instance number. You can change it, as long as it is a globally unique number."
