3.4.2.2.  Deletion of projects

Projects (that once have been a part of a published CIP for PARTsolutions) should never be deleted again. Of course projects can be officially rejected by the supplier at times, however, in this case the End-of-Life feature should be used and not the project be deleted.

[Note]Note

Exception

If projects have been created as real duplicates several times in the past, TestMeta will show an error, because CNSORDERNO/CNSTYPCODE has to be mandatorily declared, however, is not unique.

This error can be corrected by replacing the duplicates with link projects. If a link project is not valid for all rows, filters can be used. See Section 5.8.2.1.3, “ New link ” (sub-items Table restriction [Restricted display] and Table restriction [Restricted display] in value ranges ).

Before republishing, ERP mapping [Edit ERP-Mapping...] must be edited. [Edit ERP-Mapping...].. (see Section 6.10.2, “ Check ERP mapping (Add ERP mapping... and Edit ERP mapping...) ”..) must be carried out.

ERP mapping checks whether a project still exists. If the Perform mapping via order number [Use order numbers to create mappings] option is activated, a new project is found and mapped without any problems.

Link projects do not play a role in ERP mapping, only physical ones.
