Re: R6 Integrator question

   My thought is you almost need code files here really, not discrete
   domains, but also you have it sounds like code/sub-code file issues you
   would want to consider but that is Rel 7 only.  (So if one selection is
   made, the second selection only shows the options available to that first
   selection.)
    
   Unless I'm missing it, this is really a configuration engine you need or
   KBC type of function.  Code/Sub-code won't give you that either.

     maybe you can do something like this:

     1. Create a Physical file to be used as "Item Extension Description"
     with
     the following fields:
       Item, Motor, Horsepower, GearRatio, BoreSize, etc...

     2. Use Integrator to define the file as a Secondary file and associate
     it
     to the Item object (if you are using PDM+)  or Item Revision (if you are
     using EPDM)

     3. Define each of the fields as a Discrete Domain, then you can have:

      Field                            Value      Alias
      MOTOR                    GMTR    GEAR MOTOR
     MOTOR                     GMT2     GEAR MOTOR #2
     HORSEPOWER    .25HP      .25 HORSE POWER
     HORSEPOWER    .50HP      .50 HORSE POWER
     HORSEPOWER    .75HP      .75 HORSE POWER

     4.   Add the fields (attributes) in the Item or Item revision card,
      then
     the user can select the value using the "drop down"

     5. Develop a user Exit that will concatenate all the fields into the
     Item
     Description

     [MAPICS-L] R6 Integrator question

     We are at Release 6.  I need to be able to build a part description
     based on the attributes of the part, using a series of drop down
     selection boxes.  For example, from drop down box 1 "gear motor" is
     selected, then drop down box 2 displays for a selection of applicable
     horsepowers, then drop down box 3 displays for a selection of applicable
     gear ratios, then drop down box 4 displays for a selection of applicable
     bore sizes.  From these selections, I would generate a part description
     of "GMTR,.25HP,8.2:1,20MM" to accurately describe this part - a .25
     horsepower gear motor with a 8.2:1 gear ratio and a 20mm bore.

     Is there a way to do this within Integrator?  If so, how might I best
     accomplish this?  My knowledge of Integrator is somewhat limited, so the
     more detail you can provide, the better.

     Thanks...
