PARTsolutions offers the possibility to connect ERP systems via link-database. This results in the potential to represent customer-specific business processes.
Precondition is, that the value range variables are tagged by the categories of the Identification type. Only then a faultless processing of these or the resulting NB and LINA is ensured in the ERP system.
The distinction is
very important if an ERP system is used. At value range variables of the
type Function attribute, the value remains
changeable, even if an ERR number has been applied, at value range variables
of the type Geometry attribute the
value is pinned 
, once an ERP number is applied.
The Identification type is set in PARTdesigner, in the Variable Manager.
Following options are available:
According to declaration the depiction in PARTdataManager differs.
In the following the use of the individual attributes is explained:
-
The Function attribute is used for rod positions and angularities for example, for everything which defines a mechanical movement in part / assembly (e. g. rod position of a cylinder).
-
The Geometry attribute has to be used for those characteristics that influence the geometry; for example, if the geometry of the part or assembly is changed by the variable (e.g. maximum stroke length), or if components are added or taken away, e.g. "sensor yes/no" or "option on/off".
![[Note]](/community/externals/manuals/ecatalogsolutions_en/v11/images/note.png)
Note Using the example of a cylinder, the distinction between the stroke, which is a Geometry attribute and the rod positioning, which is a Function attribute has to be made. By activating the ERP functionality the stroke is pinned, as soon as an ERP_PDM_NUMBER has been attributed (the rod positioning does not get pinned). The pinned state becomes visible through a special icon
. When using ERP, different strokes
have different ERP numbers; different rod positions don't
have. -
The Dimension attribute is used for semi-finished products and profiles, which are created in running meters (here variable L).
Note Whether a Dimension attribute is pinned
when an ERP number has been applied
, can be specified in a configuration file depending on
the desired company internal workflow.[a]
If you need another value, use the "neutral" row (without ERP number) beside the pinned one. (Whether rows without ERP number may be exported depends on the desired company internal workflow.)
[a] See Section 4.17.3, “ Pinning Dimension attribute OnOff / plinkcommon.cfg -> Block [PARTdataManager] -> Key "LockDimRange" ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.
-
The Object attribute is used for variables for dimensions and/or product standards, for order numbers or technical specifications, etc. (attributes which have nothing to do with geometry or function).
Note An Object attribute is pinned, once the respective row has got an ERP number. Then it is marked with the respective icon
.If you need another value, use the "neutral" row (without ERP number) beside the pinned one. (Whether rows without ERP number may be exported depends on the desired company internal workflow.)
