5.23.8.3.2.1. Configuration

5.23.8.3.2.1.1. erpcustom.cfg > Block [VARS]

In the "VARS" block, set the "PARTREQUEST_CREATE" key to False (0). The request is then written to the DB.

[VARS]
PARTREQUEST_CREATE = 0

5.23.8.3.2.1.2. erpcustom.cfg > Block [WEB_ACTIONS]

The setting under WEB_ACTIONS is fundamental, both for users [here in the example role "Designer"] and for the administration or standardization body or key user (depending on the company workflow) [here in the example role "Admin"].

  • The user only has the CREATE_REQUEST_ACTION button (6) visible (and the export button). This calls up a creation dialog where the user can, for example, select the desired material and enter a comment.

    [WEB_ACTIONS]
    3= EXPORT_ACTION
    6=CREATE_REQUEST_ACTION

    Button from CREATE_REQUEST_ACTION: /

  • The admin has the option of creating new rows (1), creating variants (4) or fully editing a data record using EDITRECORD_ACTION (5).

    [WEB_ACTIONS]
    1= ADD2DB_ACTION
    3= EXPORT_ACTION
    4= ADDVARIANT_ACTION
    5= EDITRECORD_ACTION

Specifications for the button or the function behind it are made via the block of the same name. For example, the displayed icon [Icon] or the label of the button [Description] is defined here.

CREATE_REQUEST_ACTION - Button / Request an ERP number

The button opens the following dialog:

Create a part ident request (de and en same display) - details can be found at Section 5.23.8.3.2.2, “Procedure”.

5.23.8.3.2.1.3. erpcustom.cfg > Block [REQUESTDIALOG] / Block [USERDIALOG]
  • The dialog for requests is created in the [REQUESTDIALOG] block (similar to [USERDIALOG]).

    Example:

    [REQUESTDIALG]
    Werkstoff= CNS_MATERIAL,Werkstoff:,1,1,,1,1,CNS_material.cfg,full,.+,
    

    As a rule, fewer fields are displayed here than in the [USERDIALOG] block, as the requesting user does not need many of them and is not allowed to set them.

    The illustration shows only the input field for the material next to NB and NN.

    The illustration shows only the input field for the material next to NB and NN.

    Input window "Apply for ID number [Create a part ident request]" according to the above setting

    Input window "Apply for ID number [Create a part ident request]" according to the above setting

  • The [USERDIALOG] block is used for processing by the admin, standards body and key user.

    [Note]Note

    The [USERDIALOG] block is always used in the workflow at Section 5.23.8.3.3, “Request with attachment in the Part Number Manager plus LinkDB entry ” and specifications are always made via roles.
