We are in IFS Cloud 23R1.

Manually it’s possible to connect one document to several objets.

How can we set up DOCMAN in order to connect automatically one document several objects as per exemple part connected to master part will be automatically connected to associated purchase parts ?

Thanks

Hi Magali,

 

have you ever thought about object connection transformation? Here you could configure that all documents attached to the master part will also be shown at the purchase parts. (This even works for documents which were attached long time ago. So, it’s nothing which is triggered the the action ‘Create object connection’.)

Only disadvantage would be that the document is not connected to the purchase part. So, if you would check the object connections for such a document you won’t see a connection to PurchasePart. Nevertheless, in the purchase part screen it will show the document.

 

Best regards, Heinz

Hi,

I agree with Heinz, this sounds like a job for Object Connection Transformation! 💪🏻 😃
