Product Details
The SolidWorks ERP Link Interface system is a turnkey system designed to tightly connect your design information to your ERP system. It allows engineering designers to add, modify and view ERP engineering information such as bill of materials, item master data and routing data.
The SolidWorks ERP Integration is built on Microsoft's .Net development platform, complete with ODBC integration to communicate with ERP systems. Currenly supported ERP systems include: Exact MAX, Infor SyteLine ERP, Visual Manufacturing and Microsoft’s Navision. If your ERP system is not included, please call us - we are always adding new systems.
Product Functionality
DesignLink is a single application with the following functions: Bill of Material Management, Item Master Management and Routing Management:
Item Master Management
The Item Master contains important tombstone data such as part number, type, description, etc. The application will pull the information that exists in Exact MAX ERP and the model to populate the fields of the form. Specifically, we will pull description from Infor SyteLine ERP so that the model will be updated with database descriptions. The designer will be able to modify the data on the interface form.
Pressing Integrate will synchronize and update the data in both ERP system and in the SolidWorks or AutoCAD drawing.
Bill of Material Management
Bill of material information is taken directly from the assembly model, part model, drawing or PDMWorks datacard to populate the fields in the DesignLink Interface form. The engineer will not be able to add or modify bill of material information without modifying the SolidWorks/PDMWorks data. This ensures data integrity between SolidWorks and the ERP system.
Pressing Integrate will update the information in the ERP database with the model information, including quantity, part number, etc.
Routing Management
DesignLink optionally provides a simple, convenient interface for adding and modifying ERP routing information. The routing information is pulled from ERP and the designer can make the necessary changes in the interface. Pressing Integrate updates the ERP system with any changes made by the designer.
Effectivity Dates
DesignLink can include effective date information with the BOM. Using this option, companies can be sure to keep a clear history as well as a future instruction to production on the status of engineering bills of materials.
CAD ERP with Effectivity Dates ensures that the SolidWorks\PDMWorks BOM are never deleted they are only ‘zeroed’ using appropriate effective dates and quantities.
