I updated my PFW/PFD Item Descriptions but the changes are not being displayed in the comment field of BOM Maitenance. How do I update the “Comment” field in Bill of Material Maitenance?
When pulling in a component in Bill of Material Maitenance the program will copy the PFW/PFD Item Description into the Comment field by default; however, this is just a copy of the item description and is not reading the field directly from PFW/PFD. If you change the PFW/PFD Item Description in PFW/PFD Inventory the comment field will not be updated automatically. This is imperative to many of our users as they make changes, and add information to this field. If the field was updated automatically the updates would be deleted. In Version 3.23 and higher a Comment Utility is included that will copy the PFW/PFD inventory description to the components comment field. This utility will update every component item comment in all bill of materials. To execute the program, find the Maynard Software program installation directory using Windows Explorer and double click on the COMUTIL.EXE.
