Hi
I'm working on DMS & I'm new to DMS. I have created a
doc in DMS & I'm attaching it to a material master. In
material master "Basic Data 2" tab, we have field "Design
document assigned". Once you assign the doc to material
master, link to that document should be available on
the "basic data 2" tab under the "Design documents
assigned". It's not happening for me. Is there any setting
in MM side for this to happen?
