Data quality is of fundamental importance!
| Is the data available separately in corresponding fields? - Or is all core data in a single field and possibly even in different positions in the respective field? |
| PARTdataCenter is able to filter data from a single string using regular expressions (see Section 1.4.4, “Regular expression ” in PARTwarehouse Manual). However, this is associated with increased effort. |
| Is the spelling standardized? |
| Separators, abbreviations, capitalization? |
As soon as the data is available in the LinkDB with ERP_PDM_NUMBER, it can simply be kept up to date using the ident number or any other attributes can be added. See Section 4.13.3, “Updating data ”.
