Smart Materials/Smart Reference Data Version
2020 (10.0)

If you wish to import your BOM data into Smart Materials, you can do so using the Flat Configuration page. It is a facility within the BOM import through which you can define the column mappings of the available Excel/ASCII file, which would then be used to start the BOM import. You can also write your own BOM Import Logic which can then be used in place of the internal import.

Using the following steps, you can import a BOM data 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.

    The Flat Configuration does not work for product groups and can only be used for projects.
