To automatically link generic parts in Luminovo, you should provide detailed specifications for each generic part via the components/import API endpoint. Find the link to the documentation of this endpoint here.
Warning: generic parts can only be automatically linked if the generic components are uploaded via the Luminovo's API.
How do I fill out the data, so that my generic parts are automatically linked to the generic parts in Luminovo?
Specifically, the data.specification.function field needs to be fully populated for automatic matching to occur. This is crucial for components like resistors and capacitors, where Luminovo can match the provided data to existing parts. If the data isn't complete or specified properly, automatic linking may not occur, and manual linking will be suggested instead.
Steps for Uploading Generic Parts:
Upload via the API: You should use the
/components/importendpoint via Luminovo’s API to upload your ERP data for components.Component Specifications: Ensure that the part type is marked as
Generic, and fill out all fields indata.specification.function. For resistors and capacitors, Luminovo relies heavily on these fields for automatic matching.For example, for a resistor, you need to provide its resistance value, power rating, tolerance, and other relevant technical parameters.
If the required parameters are missing, Luminovo will be unable to make a definitive match, and you'll have to manually link the parts.
Handling Missing Information: If your ERP data doesn’t separate the specifications into individual fields, you can upload the full description as a single string. Luminovo will then try to match the component to a suitable generic part and will provide linking suggestions. However, those parts won't get automatically linked.
Manual Linking: If Luminovo can't find a match based on the provided specifications, it will suggest a manual link, as shown in the interface. This allows users to select the most appropriate part based on their uploaded data.
