How to create linked services and materials:

Both connected AMFG consoles need to choose Services and Materials in production parameters that are “linked” in order to outsource production. A production job with certain services and materials can only be outsourced to a connected partner if both AMFG consoles have chosen the same linked Services and Materials.

- How to create a linked Service:
  - In production parameters - Create Service - Choose from a Service from the dropdown Menu. The connected partner needs to add the same Service from the dropdown menu in order to receive jobs that include that Service. Custom inputs are not “linked” Services.

- In production parameters - Add material to a machine - Choose a material from the AMFG database - Select a supplier and material from the dropdown menu. If you click on “Can’t find my material?” and add a material manually - this is not a linked material. The connected client needs to add the same “linked” material to send a job with that material.
- What to do if my material doesn’t exist in the provided list?
  - Add a random material from the dropdown menu your AMFG console and the same material on the connected AMFG console.
  - Open the material and change name and material properties according to the actual material you want to offer. This needs to be done on both AMFG consoles.
