Alias ID

How to Assign multiple Alias IDs to an existing object version

 

What to do:

To work through this example, you must have completed the example Creating an Object with Alias Identification.
An Alias Identification can be created for items, documents, work requests and work orders. The procedure is the same for all objects - here the creation is described exemplary for an item.
Select Start > Item.
The Item mask is opened.
Select the item ART-CPA-1000
Click on the Alias IDs tab.
To change to Insert mode click .
In the Organization field, select the Cooperation Partner Miller and Son.

Enter the following Cooperation Partner information:

Alias Number Revision Default
M+S1234 3 -

For the Item Management you can enter values for optional attributes Finish and Color Code.

To save the entry click .

Repeat the steps 4-7 to enter additional cooperation partners.

Cooperation Partner Alias Number Revision Default
Evans MAT-12PPG - -

Three Alias IDs are now assigned to item ART-CPA-1000.

If you change the default in the Alias IDs list to another cooperation partner and update the mask, the new default Cooperation Partner will be displayed in the mask header. To change the default in the Alias IDs list, see the example How to Assign a default Cooperation Partner for an Object.
When creating a new version of an object, all Alias IDs assigned to the object will be copied to the new object version. This also refers to the Default settings of the Alias IDs. It is possible to define a different Alias ID as the default Alias ID of the new object version. Highlight the Alias ID you want to define as the default Alias ID and select "Set Default" from the context menu.
