Data Management
Proper data management requires that you know where data, both metadata and content, is owned and viewed. It is important to know the system of record for each object, and whether there are attributes that do not exist in Windchill PDMLink that are required for the business in the target system. When implementing ERP Connector, it is also important to consider the details around BOM management within the business. The number and location of BOMs must be known, as well as which systems should manage engineering and manufacturing BOMs.
