Integration with LN Project

The integration between PLM for Discrete and LN Project supports the creation and modification of project structures and project budgets from PLM to LN using DLLs.

In PLM for Discrete, a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) can be specified that includes these elements:

  • WBS elements
  • Work Package (WP) elements
  • Project items
  • Links to engineering items

After a work breakdown structure is approved and released, the entire structure can be sent to LN Project.

If modifications are required for project-management components, you must check-out the required components and make the changes on the new revision of the components.

When a new revision of WBS, WP, or project item is released, the new component with its structure must be sent to LN Project. This operation overwrites the existing data in LN Project.

If LN users have added new elements to the work breakdown structure, and a new revision is sent from PLM, the new elements in LN must not be removed from the structure. Because LN project-management data does not include a revision field, the revision of the PLM element and the description of the object in LN are concatenated.
