Type

Here you select if you want to import individual Parts or material in a BOM list or Operations.

The difference between the types Parts, BOM list and Operations is which fields that can be linked to columns in the text file.

Things to Keep in Mind when Importing BOM Lists

The file used when importing BOM lists shall contain one row for each material in the BOM list. If a part number is missing this can be created at the same time. The name will be * New record * if the name is missing in the file. All newly created materials will be given status 1. Otherwise, data will be created on part type, unit, etc. in the same way as when parts are created manually.

Things to Keep in Mind when Importing Operations

Here you can import operations to new parts or to existing parts without any previous operations.
