1.7.1.1. Data takeover from third party systems

The LinkDB creates connections between the geometry data of standard parts and supplier catalogs and ERP data from different systems and databases. This connection must first be established.[12]

PARTdataCenter and PARTident are tools that can identify - even with differing descriptions.

A part is basically identified with a standard number and a specification of the attribute.

For example: ISO 4762 and M5x25

Key: PS=PARTsolutions

Key: PS=PARTsolutions

Parts that were identified are saved in the LinkDB with the connection material master number + geometry parameter.

Based on this connection, several other Attributes/information can be allocated and added from the third party system. All information can then be displayed in the PARTdataManager - either completely or partially filtered.

Via the number (ERP_PDM_NUMBER) data can also be easily identified and updated. See Section 1.7.2, “Keep data up-to-date ”.

All data can be displayed in one single interface in the PARTdataManager.
