Drawing Management

The drawing management of COSMO Product Data Management allows you to manage one or more drawings. Drawings are assigned to items and BOMs according to a flexible logic and thus creates transparency regarding the use of this data.

A drawing record is created in a separate table and inherited from there into the master and transaction data. Using status management, the technician can insert and control drawings and documents specifically in the process.

Manual Creation and Initial Status

When the Check Permission for Drawing Status field is enabled in the Product Data Management Setup page, new drawings created manually on the Drawing Card page are automatically initialized with the status code defined in the Default Drawing Status Code field. If this field is not configured while permission checks are enabled, manual creation cannot continue until the setup value is provided (see Product Data Management Setup).

For drawings that currently have an empty status, changing the status to the configured default value is treated as an initialization step and does not require explicit permission. All other status changes are evaluated against the Drawing Status Permissions rules. For more information, see Drawing Status Permissions.

Note

For older COSMO Product Data Management versions, the drawing management assumes that an item exists for each drawing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and that the item and drawing number are identical. The restriction to use drawing numbers based on item numbers was removed in version 13.00.01.

Additionally, an action was added to the Drawing Card to link a drawing to multiple items. For more information, see Assign Drawings to Items.
