Let's confirm that basics...
In nash or AML Studio, run the following AML
<Item action="add" type="part" id="12345678901234567890123456789012">
<item_number>100</item_number>
</Item>
This should create a new part with item_number=100 and generation 1. This works in an out-of-the-box database. If you have other required properties, then you may need to modify your AML with the additional properties.
Run this AML to make a new generation of the part.
<Item action="version" type="Part" id="12345678901234567890123456789012"/>
Rerun the search for part 100 and you should see generation 2.
