This demo video introduces CADLink, a third-party integration tool developed by QBuild Software for SYSPRO ERP. It showcases how CADLink streamlines the synchronization of engineering bills of materials (BOMs) between CAD, PDM, or PLM systems and SYSPRO. The video walks through launching CADLink, comparing BOMs, resolving discrepancies, and saving updates directly into SYSPRO, including both structure and estimation workflows.

Topics

• Launching CADLink from CAD, PDM, or PLM systems and accessing it via the toolbar.

• BOM Comparison Workflow between CAD models and SYSPRO structures or estimates.

• Color-coded BOM Grid for visualizing component status and discrepancies.

• Saving and Updating BOMs in SYSPRO, including operations and ECC-controlled components.

Insights

• Color Indicators for BOM Status:

  • White: Existing components in SYSPRO.

  • Green: New components to be created.

  • Yellow: Field value differences with editable options.

  • Gray: Components in SYSPRO but missing in CAD.

  • Blue: Non-CAD consumable components.

  • Red: Missing or invalid data preventing save.

• Bidirectional Data Sync: Changes made in CADLink update both CAD and SYSPRO fields.

• Custom Logic Module: Enables automation and custom code integration for advanced workflows.

• Field Mapping Capability: Allows writing to various SYSPRO tables for full customization.
