The Cadmes ERP Exchange Framework has functionality to serve different item and BOM data exchange scenarios. The most common scenario is bidirectional communication of item record data between ERP and Enterprise PDM. The customer has the choice which system should be leading for item number generation; PDM, ERP or mixed.BOM data is exported from Enterprise PDM to ERP in a similar way, where rules can be added how PDM BOM lines should appear in ERP. The ERP Exchange Framework can alter information for production purposed based on filtering attributes managed in PDM.If an automatic neutral format creation is configured in Enterprise PDM - for example, automatic creation of drawing PDF on release - these neutral format documents can also be linked to the item master record in ERP automatically if the ERP systems supports file references.Dynamic ERP item information can be viewed from Enterprise PDM using a pop-up window, showing real-time data like price, stock, delivery time or supplier.The ERP Exchange Framework has already been implemented with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics AX/NAV, Infor LN/Baan, Isah, Ridder, Exact, Visual, Trimergo, AccountView and Unit4, but can also be implemented with any other system that can import information from external sources.
