Configuration of Assignments

In principle, each table row (i.e. each data record) in the Catalogue Editor corresponds to an article in HELiOS. The assignment of information in the Catalogue Editor to the corresponding attribute fields in HELiOS can be seen below:

Generally one distinguishes between the following types of assignments:

Attribute associativity: Catalogue -> HELiOS Article Master Management
Attribute associativity: HELiOS Article Master Management --> Catalogue

Attribute associativity: Catalogue -> HELiOS Article Master Management

When transferring catalogues, tables or records to HELiOS, the catalogue attributes Table ID and Row ID are automatically transferred for each entry. These attributes make the entry identifiable, which enables the record "Catalogue->HELiOS Article Master Management" to be updated and ensures that updates are only made within the defined assignment.
For the catalogue attributes Catalogue name and Table name, optional attribute assignments are possible via HELiOS Part Management, which provides the HELiOS user with information. Use the HELiOS Settings function to specify such assignments.

You can configure, via the column properties in the individual tables, further arbitrary attributes for a Catalogue -> HELiOS Article Master Management transfer. When assigning an article master via HELiOS Article Master Management, the appropriate configurations from the catalogue are then transferred to the HELiOS article master management attribute. Proceed as follows:

Right-click the heading of the required column.
Select Column properties.
Specify the required assignment.

Please note that no transfer (no Catalogue->HELIOS Article Master Management associativity) takes place when updating the catalogue. It is therefore possible that the data in the catalogue and in HELiOS Article Master Management do no longer correlate after an update has been made!

Attribute associativity: HELiOS article master management -> Catalogue

Please note that it is not possible to transfer attribute contents from the HELiOS article master management to the catalogue.

If, for instance, you want the Article number to be displayed in the catalogue as well, this needs to be specified via the transfer direction Catalogue -> HELiOS Article Master Management. Proceed as follows:

In the CATEDITOR, enter the HELiOS Article Master Management Article number as an assigned attribute in an additional catalogue column, i.e. Custom1 or Custom2 .
Then transfer this catalogue, the table or the records to HELiOS with the attribute associativity HELiOS-T_Sachnummer (=article number)- Custom1.
