The initial filling of the link database was created with PARTdataCenter.
Adding ERP numbers can happen in different scenarios:
Manual assignment of new ERP numbers with timestamp (default setting for PLDBDEMO)
Manual assignment of new ERP numbers with free input (default settting for PLINKDB)
The ERP number generator allows you to create ERP numbers according to a freely configurable key (prefix - number - postfix) - if required, also differently for different catalogs, directories or projects. See ERP number Section 4.12.1.2.4.1, “ ERP Number Generator - erpcustom.cfg -> Blocks [ERP_NRGENERATOR] and [ERP_NRGENERATOR_CONDITIONS] ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual .
