How to use CadConnect – Detail screen – Data Field definitions
In the line detail display you have several columns and fields available depending on your needs.
The configuration of the display is done using the standard BC function Personalize
- Type
Type is normally derived from what you insert – item, routing etc.
Doing this process of course depend on having a bill of material which shall be turned into a production bill of material
- Level
System maintained. For reference to specify the structure
- No
Item number / Work Center no. / Machine Center no. / Routing no. / Assembly Resource no.
- No 2
Item number 2
- Description
Item description / Operation description / Routing description / Resource description
- Description 2
Item description 2
- Additional text
Additional text is for CadConnect use only. There are no transfer to BC.
- Template Routing no.
You can type / select an existing routing no. in this field to be used as the routing for the item. The routing operations will be added on the lines below depending on Setup
- Item type
This field has 3 possible values – Purchase, Production or Assembly
When you work with a BOM structure the system will find the most appropriate Type based on BOM relations. However you can overrule this value, in the field “Item Replenishemnt system” for existing items, the value from the item card will be shown
- Item Replenishment System
This field can have 3 different values – Purchase, Production or Assembly
If you want to overrule the values calculated by CadConnect in “Item Type” you can do this by using this field. When creating new items, the value from this field “Item Replenishment System” will be transferred to the Item Card in BC to the field “Replenishment System”.
The function can be relevant, if you create an item with a BOM but you normally purchase the item.
Please refer to general Make or Buy considerations

- Wait Time
Wait time for an operation line
- Wait Time Unit of Measure Code
Wait time unit of measure code to be selected
- Move Time

- Move Time Unit of Measure Code
Move time unit of measure code to be selected
- Routing Link Code
If you want to link material and routing operations to each other, use this field.
- Vendor No.
For an item line it is possible to look up in BC vendor file and select a (primary) vendor for this item.
- Vendor Item No.
For an item you can key the vendor item number for the selected vendor, in this field.

- Gross Weight
You can enter the gross weight for an item here
- Net Weight
You can enter the net weight for an item here
- Version Code
Used on Purchased items will update CadConnect version file. Used on Produced items will update Bom. Used on operations will update Routings.
- Version start
Will be used as starting date of the version
- Previous version
If an active BOM version exists, the version will be shown in this field. For purchased items the previous version relates to the CadConnect version file.
- Position
Reference to a position number in the BOM can be keyed here
- Position 2
Reference to a position number in the BOM can be keyed here
- Position 3
Reference to a position number in the BOM can be keyed here
- Starting Date
If you use Effective dates on BOM, components can be time-phased using this field.
- Ending Date
If you use Effective dates on BOM, components can be time-phased using this field.
- Length
