Functionality

The BOM Bulk Import forms provide this functionality:

• Allow you to define the mapping between the Infor PLM Discrete BOM XML, and the SyteLine tables/columns (BOM Bulk Import Mappings form).
• Import multiple Current BOMs using a single bulk process (BOM Bulk Import form) with the following capabilities:
  • Run in the foreground.
  • Run in the background.
  • Track errors and allow for viewing errors within SyteLine (BOM Bulk Import Errors form).
  • Provide notification when errors occur while processing a BOM/XML file (BOM Bulk Import Errors form).
• When importing a Current BOM:
  • You can flag an item so that when a new Current BOM is imported, the existing current BOM is stored using SyteLine's create revision functionality.
  • The date and time of the import for the item is recorded.
  • Provide the ability to import Reference Designators for materials (set on the BOM Bulk Import Parameters form).
