Within the BOM import, there is a facility to import your data into Smart Materials called Flat Loading Config. This facility conforms to the import of an ASCII file, but all elements of a BOM (bill of materials) are put together in one record separated by a freely definable delimiter, for example, ‘;’.

This method is an easier way to import. Just collect your data in an Excel sheet and export it to an ASCII file. Then all you have to do is define the column mappings of the ASCII file in Smart Materials and start the Flat Loading Config import. In addition to that import, you can write your own BOM import that will be used instead of the internal import if you want to add some proprietary functions and behavior.

You can use FLC import only in projects. This functionality does not work in product groups.

There are three steps to import a BOM into Smart Materials:

  1. Collect your data in an Excel sheet. Use this Excel sheet for the import, or generate a csv file that contains the columns of the data separated with a freely definable separator.

  2. Define the columns so that Smart Materials knows the meaning of the columns in the Excel/csv file.

  3. Start the import.
