  1. Lines 1-10 in our example would be recognized as BOM positions in the first cut but then eliminated because they have no valid 1st size definition.

  2. The 11th line would be recognized as containing line number information (‘LINE NUMBER’). The software would make up a new node within the start node. The new node name is a sequence that is counted starting from 1 for each import job. The string following the ‘LINE NUMBER’ in piping_g would be written into the short description and description of the node (the language would be taken from the Smart Materials login environment).

  3. If you configured the interface to scan the line number, it would create node attributes for the line.

  4. Lines 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 would be recognized as valid positions on the new node created in step 2. If you configured OMI to find the idents, you would have chances to find them with commodity code, size1, and size2.

  5. Line 25 would be recognized as line number information. The line number would be compared to the previous one to see if it is a new line number or just a repetition due to a page break. The line A380311-3"-2C0032-N is indeed a new one, so the software would continue with step 2. Otherwise, the software would have added the positions to the previous node.

Intergraph lets users configure the layout of piping_g. With PDS 30.01, you can adapt the OMI interface to many different situations. It is possible (depending on your configuration) that the destination BOM contains lines from piping_g that are not positions. These lines are recognized as garbage at the point when you are trying to find idents for them.
