Coupling to BUSINESS
Users of DATAflor BUSINESS can be used in conjunction with the BUSINESS-Link Use advanced functions that simplify the preparation of offers even more.
As soon as a specification in the Material manager has been imported, there are essentially two other functions that can be used.
Determination of the required material quantities for existing positions
This procedure can be used if in DATAflor BUSINESS There are material items for which an exact determination of the required materials is not yet available. This should be done directly from the drawing.
Functionality
After importing the specifications into the Material manager (please refer Position coupling) the material positions are represented by a separate symbol 
listed.
Objects are now assigned to these positions. In the tab Material there is the possibility of calculating the corresponding quantity using the calculation parameters, which is then entered in the specification of services.
Creation of new material items with determination of the required material quantity
This quantity determination is used if it is in the specification of services in DATAflor BUSINESS There are no material items yet, and accordingly no quantities. The required materials and quantities should now be created and determined directly from the drawing.
Functionality
After importing the specification of services (see Position coupling) in the Material manager the course structure is displayed.
Now a title must be marked under which new materials are to be created. The addition of new materials is only activated on this level.
If the materials are to be summarized in a separate title, this must first be entered in DATAflor BUSINESS
After the entry, however, the new material items do not have an item number, as these are exclusively through DATAflor BUSINESS be awarded. In this case it is sufficient if the LV in DATAflor BUSINESS is opened and renumbered. The next time the Material manager the new numbers will then be displayed.
