3.3.3.7.2. Simple case with automatic material master creation (PLM interface, CAD export and CreateAndLink additional task)

Simple case with automatic material master creation (PLM interface, CAD export and additional function createAndLinkMaterial):

In contrast to the previously mentioned case (PLM interface, CAD export), a material is assigned to the document info record using the additional function createAndLinkMaterial.

Activate the additional function and enter the SAP ECTR material attribute name "SAP_MATERIAL_NO" in ifsapectr.cfg > Block CREATE_AND_LINK_MATERIAL in the key material_number with the following syntax.

?_ATTR("SAP_MATERIAL_NO")

Block "CREATE_AND_LINK_MATERIAL" in the key "material_number"

Block "CREATE_AND_LINK_MATERIAL" in the key "material_number"

In SAP ECTR Desktop, the automatically generated (and incremented) material number is displayed.

In the case of assemblies, the individual parts are displayed under Components.
