Optionally, when assigning an ERP number ( Add data record to [Add dataset to link database] link database [PARTdataManager] or Add to [Add to link database] link database [3Dfindit]), you can run a duplicate check. The system checks whether a LinkDB entry with the same values (project path + LineId) would be created on the selected line if the desired action were carried out. Variants (e.g. with a different length) are different and do not trigger an action, nor do differences in material or surface, for example.

	Note
	The check does not aim to equal ERP numbers.

Click on the corresponding icon to open the New ident number [new ident-no.] dialog box. The following illustration shows an example of a new entry with a different material. No action is triggered.

New Ident Number [new ident-no.] dialog box

If the material "10.9" is selected again in the list field in the example above, a message appears: "The desired new entry already exists. Continue anyway?" The exact action depends on the settings. See below for comparison.

Example: Message in 3Dfindit

Example: Message in PARTdataManager

If you click Yes, a duplicate will be created.

In order for the duplicate check to be executed, you have to activate the following key with respective script:

erpcustom.cfg

[ADDTODB]
dupcheck=$CADENAS_SETUP/scripts/erp/erp_duplicate_check.vbb

Key for duplicate check

Furthermore you can specify the desired action:

erpcustom.cfg

[ADDTODB_DUPLICATECHECK]
allowCreationOfDuplicate=ask | block | warn

Determine desired action by value selection in list field
