Import Definition

Only Insert: Imports the data if the target is not yet available.

Only Update: Imports only if the target is already available. Therefore, ONLY existing data are replaced or updated with the new information, depending on the import area. Non-existent entries are ignored.

Insert + Update: Imports new data rows and matches existing data rows.

Note:

When importing BoM and routing, they are matched as a whole, therefore, single BoM positions cannot be changed. It is possible to delete positions subsequently. The matching is defined in the BoM position or in the routing position. See BoM position – Synchronize.

•Testing

•Released

This is for information purposes only.
