Same device types with different part numbers

[wlnx]

NetBox version

v4.2.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

We have some servers with same model (S2600WFT) and different part numbers (K91296-001 and K77844-002). I cannot add different device types because they are identified by device model, thus, Netbox considers them to be the same and does not allow adding the latter one having the former been added.

Use case

Users will be able to add same server models with different part numbers as different device types.

If the part number is different, that really ought to be a different device type from a data modeling standpoint. They can be labeled differently to distinguish them, and if you're filtering you can select multiple.
