AI Summary

Possible agenda point for next Admin meeting:

I have a living Design Library of Parts "which are preferred" in new designs, but when a Part is going to be "in-active" we would like it to be either REMOVED from our Design Libr (so only usable Parts are present) OR "hidden" in the Folder?? (My problem is, I cannot move Parts, which are still represented in not checked in Assemblies..)

FOR ALL:
If you have something in mind, maybe write it up here and an Agenda can start to be formed...

While I don't yet have an answer for you,
We can absolutely also share some of the story for us about moving to a new ERP system - and what data quality challenges that has brough to the surface for us.

Also a topic to bring up could be "Branch/Merge" that is something we are looking into now because of our raised data quality requirements.
