Re: New Hardware - BPCS bolt-ons

Hi Tom,

I should have also said that bolt on data can be included in the archiving.
(What bolt-ons do you have? Nordic Enhancements? Or add-on functions?)
The base archiving takes care of all those BPCS file relationships so you
don't have to worry about 'orphaned' data. So for example the Order Entry
archiving option looks at the ECH file as 'driver', and links any other
files with the order number. So any extension files or bolt-on products or
user created files which reference the key field can be defined, and all
will be archived together. It is as though the software is archiving an
ORDER or a range of ORDERS instead of a chunk of data.

If you would like to try an evaluation copy, contact me offline,

kind regards,

Clare
