Document Flowdown

Written by Angela Amico

The Document Flowdown feature in The Business Edge enables you to assign documents to Products that will be attached to Purchase Orders and Processing Purchase Orders automatically.

Step 1: Setup Document Groups defined as Document Flowdown groups.

In the Document Group Menu, the first menu item is where you will set up the Document Groups.

Each group represents a set of requirements for your Vendor.

In this example any product that begins with the prefixes below will automatically have the Document defined as A1 – Aerospace Quality Requirements attached to the PO.

If you would like to assign a flowdown to and individual Product you can do so in Enter & Edit Products.

Click on Kits and Specifications on the right-hand side and then select F4 - Product Drawing Groups where you can add a new line.

Entering or Clicking on the attachment enables you to change when it will be attached – Print, Fax, E-mail or Adobe.

You can also click on Delete to remove it from this particular document.

The Document Group Inquiry will provide a Summary of how many Parts have a particular group assigned to it as well as give you the ability to view the Products with F2- Related Items
