This part defines the settings to be implemented to process the ERP return.


Activation of the ERP return


 


The following parameters enable or disable ERP return processing:

  • Wait for a response file: Check the option to enable processing
  • Waiting period : Enter the maximum waiting time in seconds. During this time, PDM Gateway waits for the response file in the specified folder.

Once this time has elapsed, and no response file is present, the PDM Gateway task is failed.

  • Response File Location: Enter the Windows folder where PDM Gateway will retrieve the response files.
  • Item file name: Name of the file of the item return expected by PDM Gateway.

Do not enter anything if the return of the items is not active.

  • BOM file name: Name of the file of the BOM return expected by PDM Gateway.

Do not enter anything if BOM return is not active.


Additional settings to take into account XSL technology.

This allows the return file from the ERP to be adapted to the format required by PDM Gateway.

  • XSL file for articles: Check this option and specify the location of the XSL file
  • XSL file for BOMs: Check this option and specify the location of the XSL file.



Modification of PDM variables

 


This part allows to activate the update of PDM variables on the return of the ERP :

  • Variable Matching: Check this option to enable the functionality
  • Variable table: List of variables to be updated.

Each variable is defined by the name declared in the return file, and the corresponding PDM variable.

  • Apply to all configurations: Check this option if the update concerns all configurations of the document (case of a material code for example).
  • Type of change :
    • Modification with release :

The document is extracted, updated and archived.

The properties associated with PDM variables are updated.

However, the document must be archived before it is updated.

      • Replace newer version when archiving

       This option only works in SOLIDWORKS PDM 2017 and allows you to overwrite the latest version of the file when archiving.

    • Modification without taking a version :

The change is made directly in the database.

The document can be extracted.

The properties associated with PDM variables are not updated.

Beforehand, it is necessary to inform SQL database connection information.
