4.14.3.4. Direct online linkage of
the LinkDB to the ERP-DB
Concerning the ERP data,
exclusively the article number, or ERP number of each part is entered
in the LinkDB
The needed dataset can only be gotten from
the ERP-DB by the user's request in PS
PARTdataCenter is required for the article
number assignment during the "initial filling".
Advantage: Complete
datasets are always imported in real time from the ERP-DB
Disadvantage: Can take
longer with a multitude of displayed parts
ERPsolutions/db module
is required
The following screenshot
shows the example of a warehouse and/or price inquiry.
The display of any
useful information in the PARTdataManager as an additional column is
possible.
The direct online inquiry as linking method
is the most prompt option for information retrieval and, in case of a
warehouse inquiry, the most effective. The other linking methods can
naturally also display the data.
The PARTsolutions user
sees the fields important to him for decision-making.
