Pipeline LBM 2024.3

Lengths

Lengths can now be managed as an attribute for Products. This can reduce the number of Products necessary and removes the need to use tally logic Products to achieve desired length values.  There is a global setting for lengths that can be turned off so that the application is not requiring the use of lengths. Import/Exports are backward compatible also when managing Products in bulk.  Length values can now be used in Product transformations: Product Substitutions, Spec Set Swaps, and Subcomponents.

Job Quantity Imports

Job Quantity imports have been updated to accept length values for Products. On-The-Fly functionality can now add length values to a Product or map to existing length value.

  • Within the Job BOM, the BOM Trace Tree for Subcomponent has been updated to add Length field. PLBM-8963
