Smart Materials imports Smart Instrumentation bill of materials (BOM) data into the work breakdown structure (WBS). Smart Materials triggers the information transfer from Smart Instrumentation, and initiates the pull of information from Smart Instrumentation into the Smart Materials database.

Smart Instrumentation has to provide a database that can be accessed by Smart Materials, so that this information can be read and all new items can be loaded on demand.

This import is part of the OMI (BOM import) functionality in Smart Materials (screen B.40.01). You can select the nodes you want to import from Smart Instrumentation for each OMI import job and for each entity type to be imported. The Smart Instrumentation preprocessor converts the data into an OMI-readable format.

The following questions are decided while importing the data into Smart Materials:

What Smart Materials project will the data be imported into? The project is the logon project. The logon discipline is also the discipline to which the imported records will belong.

What issue status will the instruments be imported into in Smart Materials? This is selected with the import module (screen B.40.01).

What is the start node for the import? This information is necessary because the import takes place based on an existing WBS, which means several nodes might already exists. The hierarchy for Smart Instrumentation is a fixed one, and the one in Smart Materials a flexible one, which, in addition, might contain more levels than the one in Smart Instrumentation.

Only a special list of users is allowed to import partial commodity parts. This is handled by the Smart Materials part access functionality.
