Projects (that once have been a part of a published CIP for PARTsolutions) should never be deleted again. Of course projects can be officially rejected by the supplier at times, however, in this case the End-of-Life feature should be used and not the project be deleted.

If projects have been created as real duplicates several times in the past, TestMeta will show an error, because CNSORDERNO/CNSTYPCODE has to be mandatorily declared, however, is not unique. In order to correct this error, replace duplicates by link projects. If a link project shall not cover all rows, you can use filters. On this see Section 5.8.2.1.3, “ New link ” (subitem Restricted Display and Restricted Display in value ranges). Before publishing, please perform Edit ERP-Mapping... (see Section 6.10.2, “ Check ERP-Mapping (Add ERP-Mapping... and Edit ERP-Mapping...) ”). ERP mapping will check, if a project is still available. With activated option Use order numbers to create mappings, a new project will be found and mapped without problems.
Link projects doesn't matter for ERP mapping, only physical. | |
Details on End-of-Life feature can be found under Section 5.9.2.12, “Menu item Expiration date (End of Life) ”.
If a project has been deleted, see Section 6.10.2.4.5, “Deleted project”.
