Looking for ideas on how to send updates to ERP on Checkin

[cswaner]

Greetings,

I am looking for ideas on how to update part attributes in ERP automatically when they are updated in Windchill at a given state in the Lifecycle.

Scenario: I have a WTPart at Released State, the same part is already released in ERP. Upon review, the user realizes the Description has typos. This change does not require an ECN or Revision of the part, so, a user with access to change the part updates the attribute and checks the part back into Windchill. Now the change must be made to the ERP part.

How can I have the system automatically update the same part in ERP?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Cameron,

we have implemented, with our consultants, what you described.

We have two types of attributes: global and local and have also 7 views (design, manufacturing and 5 for each division).

When a user change an global attribute in any views, a listener catch the action and send immediately the update to our ERP.

If a user update a local attribute he/she has to manually send it to ERP.

I forgot to mention that we use Tibco to connect Windchill to our ERP.
