11.5.2.2.2.  Identification type

The difference of characteristics to characteristic types is of special importance for the ERP/PDM integration!

  • Object attribute Pinned in the ERP?

    		yes

    Values that are necessary for dimension and/or product standards.

    For order numbers or technical specifications, etc. (Characteristics that do not have anything to do with geometry or function)

  • Geometry attribute Pinned in the ERP?

    		yes

    Basis: normal dimension and/or product standards.

    For characteristics that influence the geometry.

    The Geometry attribute is to be used for those characteristics that influence the geometry; for example, if the geometry of the part or assembly changes due to the variable (e.g. maximum stroke length), or if assemblies are added or taken away, e.g. "sensor yes/no" or "option on/off".

    [Note] 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. 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 the columns with the white background (see table below). Strokes are also assigned different identification numbers in the ERP functionality; different rod positioning is not. See Section 1.1.6.7.21.3.2, “ Key "LockDimRange" ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.

    Between geometry and object attributes there is no functional difference, they are currently being dealt with equally.

  • Function attribute Pinned in the ERP?

    		no

    Stroke and angularity, everything which defines a mechanical movement in a part / assembly (e.g. the rod positioning of a cylinder).

    No components or material are added to the existent part.

    Only values that are set only during assembly time are concerned.

  • Dimension attribute Pinned in the ERP?

    		optional

    Dimension attributes are used with half-finished products and profiles that do not have fixed dimensions. The length (L) can be cleared within the default value range before export.

    With the customizing of PARTsolutions, in accordance with ERP guidelines, it is decided whether a part with different lengths obtains different identification numbers, or if the identification number remains the same. In the first case, the corresponding field will be pinned (white background), in the later, not.

    Semi-finished - dimensional characteristics pinned

    Semi-finished - dimensional characteristics pinned

In the PARTdataManager the value range declarations are identified by different hues of yellow:

Value range columns - background colors

Value range columns - background colors
