EngPart

How can I evaluate an EngPart file that is not listed in the EngPart main menu?

Select in the EngPart main menu under Edit Partner Data the subitem Load EngPart from File. You can now select the desired file in the window. The EngPart module will now try to get partner data from this file as from the EngPart files in the list.

Attention

If the selected file is not an EngPart file, the EngPart add-on module cannot extract any usable data from it. In this case, the module interprets all data as non-existent, i.e. any existing partner data is deleted. Therefore, use this menu item only if you are sure that the selected file is the correct one.

 

What to do if the partner company cannot generate an EngPart file?

In this case you have to enter all partner information manually. In this case, the initial partner setup is not sufficient. Instead, go to Edit Partner Data in the same menu. There you must add all the information that the partner company has transferred in another form for the areas of contact person, CAD systems, etc.

 

What to do if the partner company should receive the EngPart data in written form?

Instead of the usual way Send own data to partner, select the menu item Print own data for partner in the menu Administration Partner data. The EngPart module creates the finished EngPart file and sends it to the printer.

 

How can I change my own data or that of a partner company?

Even after the initial entry is complete, you can continue to edit your master data or the data of a partner company as you wish. Simply select the corresponding menu item in the EngPart main window.

Note

In general, data can also be deleted here at will. However, please note that there must always be an entry under CAD Systems, Data Formats, Departments and Final Recipients, as the VDA recommendation contains an entry in each of these areas. Therefore, you cannot immediately delete a single entry there, but only change it or make a second entry first, after which the first can be deleted.
