On the B.40.01 OMI Import Jobs screen, the Append check box specifies whether the OMI job replaces BOM position data at BOM nodes (unchecked) or whether it appends BOM positions to those already existing at BOM nodes (checked). For shape material, the software uses the append mode, whether specified or not. Shape material is not deleted.

The default operation mode is to replace BOMs. In the append mode, the setting value AUTO for the ZI_OMI_POS project default is ignored, and instead, DATA is assumed. So when positions are to be appended, it is necessary that you include position numbers in the data source (for example, in the ASCII file). In append mode, these position numbers are used by the import program to ensure that positions are not being duplicated by the append operation.

The software rejects positions with duplicate position numbers, as well as position records without a position number.

Append mode does not work with recognize mode; positions can be appended only in normal mode. In append mode, it is not possible to load positions into a new highest issue status at a node - positions can only be appended into the existing highest issue status.

Append mode does work, however, in Fab Spool import mode. For example, single spool items can be appended to existing nodes, while those already existing are kept by the software.
