The length of the post is fine, but this sounds like a weird way to do
business! The closest thing I can think of is a concatenation (or
"shop tag") code that keeps getting longer as a piece moves from
station to station. I have seen two serial numbers due to a merger and
two inventory systems, but not anything like seven of them!

My first attempt would be to have a table with seven columns that looks
like the report you gave. Adding a board id of your own begs the
question as to what all these other things mean in terms of a data
model.

This might be more than we can do in a Newsgroup.
