Assign "DocumentID" to PDM files for ERP & MRP Integration

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

Most of our clients are looking for ways to "easily" assign a unique identifier to all related files, having the same Unique ID # to a SOLIDWORKS Model (part or assembly), its drawing and subsequent PDF files.

The reason being- document distribution to your company's ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system or MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) system. (A new blog on what ERP and MRP are, and how it ties into your PDM system.) After assigning the Unique ID #, the ERP or MRP can tie the files together for displaying Bill of Materials or previews of the drawing when Supply Chain buyers, Manufacturing Planners, Manufacturing shop floor workers, etc. need to view the drawing in the ERP/MRP.
