4.13.3.4. Direct online linking of the LinkDB to the ERP-DB

  • With regard to ERP data, only the article no. or ERP no. of the respective 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 data record is always imported from the ERP database in real time

  • Disadvantage: Calling can take longer with a large number of displayed parts

  • Requires ERPsolutions/db module

The following screenshot shows an example of a stock and/or price query

  • It is possible to display any useful information in PARTdataManager as an additional column.

  • 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 that are important for making a decision.
