Assets
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Business firms develop enterprise information models to integrate data from multiple sources. When asset managers and system administrators import various kinds of asset data into Archibus, connectors record source information for the data transfer. Archibus categorizes this information with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) fields.
Views that Contain ERP Information
The following views contain either a tab or a section that displays Enterprise Resource Planning data:
- Define Classifications - ab-ca-def-class.axvw
- Define Locations - ab-sp-def-loc-rm.axvw
- Define Building Systems - ab-ep-def-systems.axvw
- Define Equipment - ab-eq-edit.axvw
- Manage Equipment and Standards ab-ess-def-eq.avxw
Source Information for ERP Data
To integrate Archibus with other ERP systems - such as SAP, Oracle, IBM Maximo, or BUILDER SMS - data connectors import asset data from an external source. Many Archibus views have an ERP section, such as shown below, to track source information.
When a data transfer occurs, ERP data fields record source information, as well as date and time the transfer occurred. Information about data sources becomes important when managers must investigate inventory consistency across asset management system. If you need to export data from Archibus to the external systems, use Source System ID and Source Record ID for bi-directional updates, .
The table below lists the source fields, and describes their contents:
| Field Label | Field Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Source System ID | source_system_id | Number or code to identify source system. |
| Source Table | source_table | Source data table used for a particular import. |
| Source Record ID | source_record_id | Record ID for a particular data transfer from the source system. |
| Date Last Updated From Source System | source_date_update | Date of last import. |
| Time Last Updated From Source System | source_time_update | Time of last import. |
| Source Status | source_status | Source status at time of last import. |
| Source Feed Comments | source_feed_comments | Comments added to document data transfer. |
