Bills of materials (BOMs) serve several purposes throughout a product lifecycle. While BOM data is usually created by CAD designers and managed in product data management (PDM) systems such as Vault software, it also needs to be shared with departments outside engineering where BOM information is used for production planning, assembling, or purchasing. Each of these steps requires a different view of the same BOM. Sometimes BOMs even need to be extended with information such as "work stages" or "work orders.” Sharing and enriching BOM information is usually done in systems other than Vault, such as Fusion 360 Manage or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This class will explore bills of materials and their different uses. We'll showcase different ways to share BOM data among product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, PDM systems, and ERP systems. And we’ll analyze the available APIs to help you implement BOM workflows among Vault Professional (PDM), Fusion 360 Manage (PLM), and ERP systems.

There are multiple ways to find data in Autodesk Fusion Manage. In this session, we will explore various methods to retrieve data in Autodesk Fusion Manage using the v3 API. We will cover the most common use cases, recommended v3 API calls, and provide best practices for handling large result sets. We will begin by discussing the UI capabilities available for finding the data. Next, we will delve into some of the most frequent use cases and how they map with API capabilities. Finally, we will provide an overview of the Search API, WS Views API, Item Details API, and Attachments API, along with best practices and examples for each.

Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage software can facilitate the dream of an online and integrated world for process management. This tool provides many industry-standard processes already loaded into the system, but one size does not always fit all. Whether young or established, capture your processes quickly. Many get star-struck by Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage, only to get caught up in how customizable it can be—which can lead to trying to get every detail right. This approach tends to impair. The best approach is to weave together the principles of starting simply, using the out-of-the-box processes, avoiding perfectionism, and putting user adoption first. This will manifest in a faster return on investment. Do not get left with an imperfect perfected process with nothing to show for your hard work. Lean toward being agile, building simply on the system foundations with the user always at the forefront of your plans. Ultimately, user adoption leads to happy directors and CEOs who haven’t wasted their money—and we all want that.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) systems such as Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage software or Upchain run in the cloud while Vault software and most enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are still installed on-premises. Hidden behind firewalls, on-premises software cannot directly receive update notifications from cloud applications, and have difficulty synchronizing with changes from cloud systems. Polling data from large data sets is time consuming and inefficient. Automated synchronization and digital transformation of data between hybrid PDM, PLM, and ERP systems require more-sophisticated solutions. This class will demonstrate how to efficiently send data from cloud to on-premise systems. We’ll use different examples to demonstrate how the Autodesk Forge Webhooks API and Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage Action Scripts are used to automatically update entities in Vault software, or how cloud PLM systems automatically send Bill of Materials (BOM) data to on-premise ERP systems without the need for the on-premise software to poll for data.

What is measured can be improved. See how we use Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage for quality management operations to predict future performance and improve strategic decision making.
