Merging is the final stage of the project cycle. After you have edited items in your project, you can merge those items into As-Built. The merge operation completely overwrites existing data in As-Built with the data from the project. For this reason, once you have merged data, the changes are irreversible.

  • You can merge all the project items into As-Built or only some of the completed items that you select.

  • If you add a new item in the project, after merging the item, the software creates it in As-Built.

  • If you modify data for an item in the project, after merging, the software overwrites the existing data for that item in As-Built.

  • If you delete an item in the project, after merging the item, the software deletes it in As-Built.

  • When merging an item that is connected in parallel with another equipment item, the software automatically merges all the items that are connected in parallel to the scoped item. For example, if you select Motor-1 that has been connected in parallel with Motor-2 and Motor-3, the software will also automatically merge Motor-2 and Motor-3 and their upstream items all the way to their power sources.

  • When merging a composite drawing, all the plant items that are associated with graphical elements on the drawing will be merged automatically on condition that they and their parent items have been completed or merged. If the status of at least one of the items or one of the parent items is not completed or merged, the software will not allow you to merge the composite drawing.

  • You can claim an item in a project and subsequently modify its data in As-Built. If you then want to transfer the item changes from As-Built to the project, you must update the item manually in the project. To assist you in doing this, it is recommended that you run a comparison report first. You can also run the Release Claim command in the project to automatically re-scope the item with the updated data from As-Built, but in this case any changes you have made to the item in the project will be lost.

  • You can only edit data in As-Built if in Options Manager, General Settings, the Allow Editing in As-Built property is set to Yes.

  • For the rules that govern document revisions, see Rules Governing Revisions for Documents Merged Back into As-Built.
