As of now we have written a API for finding BOM and Document details for a particular Item.Now what should be the way for sending fresh BOM and related document details and based on which event it should be sent when integrating with MES/ERP system.

Hi Rajiv,
In most projects I was in we added a transfer trigger to the life cycle. However, if you plan to create a process independent API, I would try to make it work for several scenarios. For example: save/unlock of the part (item in general), during release of Part/BOM.

Hi Patrcik,
I have created a code in C#.net which results in the bom parts and documents(having working instructions).But i want to create a XML file with those results and triggger it based on some event.Can you suggest me how to go about this.

Hi Rajiv,
I need to understand your current implementation a bit better. As far as I understand you created a C# method in Aras Innovator retrieving the BOM parts plus documents and you'd like to tie the C# method to an event exporting XML to the file system.
The XML creation you will have to program as well because you'll probably need a particular XML DSD format.
There are several events possible. In real live - from my experience - you would probably tie the method to a life cycle event. In this stage I would tie the method to an action either on the part form or on the BOM relation grid.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
