Load ERP materials

Hi all.

I'm a software developer, and I want to link SW with the ERP solution
of my company. My customer wants to pick up from a list inside
SolidWorks the material a part is made of. Of course, options in the
list have to be imported from the ERP. After choose the material from
the list, a custom property has to be filled with that value. In the
list must be the part number (code) of the material in the ERP and the
description. The list must be searchable. The objective is to put this
custom property in the Excel BOM and export to the ERP the complete
structure of an assemble.

Can we do this with SolidWorks? With an addon? It's not possible? Or we
have to focus the problem in a differente way?

Advanced thanks.

Yes, you should be able to do this with SolidWorks. Probably the best
integrated solution would be to write a custom addin. I've written
several addins that interface with our ERP system to look up part
information and product structures for the BOM (and also update the ERP
data from SolidWorks). Download the API SDK from the API support
section on the SolidWorks website. It has some examples and will build
a skeleton addin project for you in a few different languages. There
are also lots of examples on the website. Basically, you are just
limited by how much time you have to spend in development.

Solidsentry? The only product I see on your Web site is
SolidReflection.

 

Sorry, It was my mistake, SolidReflection is the right one, we are
working on new package, SolidSentry

 

I looked at the web site. I wasn't quite clear about how it worked. Is
there a manual or sometihng that describes it in detail?

 

I'll put a tutorial online in few days
Is great tool...
