Hello Randy

Thanks for your suggestions. I've taken a look at our system, and we use
that field already to hold the customer part/drawing number. I'll have a
check to see if there's anything else on the product description screens
we can use, however.

David,
Sorry this is long, but it's my first response.
We also handle single and multiple part molds with multiple cavities.
What we did was to use specification reference field EDNO04 in
OSLPDF3.MSITEMAS to store the mould number. We also store it's
co-product information using the F21=Text key. We only store the
"co-product(s) on the primary part. In other words, the co-product part
will not use the F21 TEXT fields. This part's mold produces 4 parts.

The f21 key option stores the info in OSLPDF3.MSP02. We created a
logical over it to just show records where TTYP02 = ITEM AND the TEXT02
that starts with "COPRO*". To reduce the read time.

I have an "interesting" problem that I hope someone can help with. I'm
using standard System 21 v3.5.2.b. I know it's old, but it's what I have
to work with!

I make parts from a mould, and each mould might produce 2 or more parts,
the same or different, depending on a number of factors (part
size/weight/configuration, etc). I want to hold the part and the mould
as separate items on S21, but I would also like to be able to identify
the mould part number from the product item record so that I can link
part/mould records from an external query. Just to complicate matters,
we can possibly have more than one mould to make a part, and each mould
has impression numbers for each part that the mould can produce. For
example, part number 123 is made from moulds m1 and m2, and each mould
makes three parts. Mould m1 has impressions 1, 2, and 3, and mould m2
has impressions 4, 5, and 6. Each part produced will have the impression
number moulded onto it, as well as a date code.

I thought I could use the feature code FTCD35 on inp35 to hold the mould
number currently being used, but I can't see anywhere that I can
maintain this field using the standard software. I'm not an RPG
programmer, so I can't bespoke the item maintenance program. We already
use the three user-defined specification fields in INP35 for other data.

Any ideas?
