14.11.000 - 08.01.2020
Improvements
  • iPCA, SPM: Implemented a feature that allows configuring whether the attributes "Contact Name" and "Email" in the SPM request could be overwritten upon the background assignment of the MDS to the SPM request - using the configuration parameter 'SPM_REPLACE_CONTACTS_FROM_MDS'. Note: This does not apply to the manual assignment of the MDS to the SPM request using the "Assign MDS" button in the SPM panel
  • PCA, Customer voting 2018: Standard "PDM BoM import (VP)" panel is extended with the checkbox "Create requests for unreported parts" that allows to bypass system-wise configuration and created/not-create SPM/SEP requests in case the matching datasheet is not found for a part. Note: Customer specific VP imports are not extended to support this feature.
  • PCA, Customer voting 2018: "DS List" of the VP extended to display status, due date, supplier, and last email send of the SPM/SEP request linked to the (unreported) part.

This is configurable using the new configuration parameter "DS_MATCH_SUPPLIER_TARGET".
Changes
  • iPCA: The check coverage manual has been updated.
