Hello Mauricio,

Have you ever used the Moldbase Editor in EMX. This is a tool to manipulate the moldbase data that is provided by EMX.

Okay, next Step: What you would like to do is adding a completely new supplier which is maybe called “DME Brazil” maybe? ( I have seen a supplier like this in some other customers configs)

We will copy the existing “d-m-e” data and rename it “d-m-e_brazil”

Now you already have a new supplier showing up in the Moldbase Definition Dialog and you can also manipulate the values of the new supplier with the Moldbase Editor
