$CADENAS_SETUP/ erpcustom.cfg :

This configuration file is used in order to customize ERP processing.

The file is subdivided in a couple of blocks:

USERDIALOG, VARS, LOAD, BEFTBLLOAD, AFTTBLLOAD, MAIL, ADDTODB

Entries can be made per group (role). Thereby the behavior of PARTsolutions can be adjusted on role level.

  • Block [VARS]

    The block VARS contains common keys.

    The following entries can be made per group (role). Thereby the behavior of PARTsolutions can be adjusted role-specific.

    Example:

     [VARS(Rolle1)]

    • ERPFIELDDB=ERP_PDM_NUMBER

      Key value is the variable name of the database column. In the user interface, you can set it in PARTlinkManager under Extras menu-> Configure ERP environment.

    • ERPFIELDLoc=

      If you enter a database field here the ERP number is copied into this field (for multiple locations only).

    • TIMESTAMPNR=0/1

      0: The ERP number entered by the user or the number returned by the ERP system is inserted in the link database.

      1: A so called timestamp number is generated and inserted into the link database. This setting only makes sense in special cases (e.g. at multiple location systems).

    • ERPADD=$CADENAS_SETUP/erpadd.cfg

      Contains the path to the configuration file erpadd.cfg.

      The block name contains the path to the PARTsolutions project file (part family), the key name is the identifier for the ERP-System, key value is fixed or a variable name of the PARTsolutions table. A variable name starts with a $ character and ends with . (point).

      Example:

      [norm/din_en_iso/schrauben/zylinderschrauben/din_912.prj]
NAME=Screw
FIELD1=$D.

      For more details please see in the config file itself.

    • CLASS=

      e.g. CLASSVARLIST(eclass)

      The given entry is searched in the respective PARTsolutions project file and exported to the ERP system.
