6.1.1. Data transfer from third party systems

The LinkDB creates the link between the geometry data of the standard parts and manufacturer catalogs and ERP data from different systems and databases. This link must be created once.[9]

PARTdataCenter is the tool for identifying parts - even with different designations.

In principle, a part is clearly identified with a standard number and specification of the characteristic.

For example: ISO 4762 and M5x25

Key: PS=PARTsolutions

Key: PS=PARTsolutions

Parts that have been identified are saved in the LinkDB with the link material master no. + geometry parameter.

Based on this link, any additional attributes/information [Attributes] from third-party systems can now be assigned and added. All information can then be displayed in the PARTdataManager - displayed in full or filtered as required.

Via the number (ERP_PDM_NUMBER) data can also be easily identified and updated. See Section 6.3.1.3, “Automated data update ”.

In the PARTdataManager all data can be displayed in a single interface.
