Hi, Guys,
Is there someway a drawing could be attached to an item in itm001(Item Master)? There seems to be a button named "Drawing" in Form 1 of Item Master session, but on clicking it nothing happens. Is there any place or session i need to go and activate something? Is it a parameter setting? Any help or documentation on this would be highly appreciated!!!

I use Baan IV c4 (Service Pack 15) with SQL Server 7 as the database and Windows Nt4 as the operating system..

You may take help of your technical person to define the file extension (Like .jpg etc) for the DRAWING key. Once set-up is done you can attch & view documents of above extension.

You may put a query to Baan for getting necessary documentation

By default, the "Drawing" button uses the item's current revision number and looks in EDM to find the engineering item with the corresponding revision number. If that has a drawing file listed, it will try to display it.

If you don't use EDM or want to do things differently, there are several options:

Try Nazdaq's Hot Link program: http://www.nazdaq.co.il
Customize the tiitm001 table to add a field
Add a new miscellaneous item information table (a kind of extension to the item master)


In the latter two cases, you will have to do some script modification.

I hope that helps.

Hi,

Apart from the above mentioned solution one other option is creat sub-session and attach to the special menu of item master, now this sub-session whenever is opened, Item Code is passed to it, and then u should have a text box where u can enter the path of the jpeg file.

For attaching the docs , u can uploading functions such as server.to.client and client.to.server.

Ofcourse the solution which i am talking takes a few customizations of sessions, tables, without having a source code for Item Master.

Hope this hint will give u some thing to move further.

Thanks for all your replies. I guess EDM would be the best way to tackle my problem since it is a part of Baan and it would be linked with project control thus making it possible to attach a drawing to a project or customized item.

Thank you again..
