Definitions 3 Document key A document key identifies a specific MTO document package or an MPR document package and is permitted to occur only once per package. Filters Various filters may be set up for individual MTO documents of an MTO document package. This allows individual MTO documents to contain different information. MPR documents MPR (Material Purchase Request) documents contain data that is shown in the form of order requests. MTO document MTO (Material Take Off) documents contain quantity-related and type-related data which is used here as a basis for order requests, for example. Depending on the objective, a distinction is made between the following MTO types: Estimated: Estimated material that is created from one or more P&ID reports, that is created manually or that is created by means of a CSV import. Current: Material that is produced during planning. Material created from isometries, by an import from AVEVA PDMS or by a CSV import. Released: Released material. Material created after an isometry has been released, by an import from PDMS or by a CSV import. MTO document package When you are working with the Material Management Assistant, various documents are created at the same time. These documents are bundled into an MTO document package.

Call the "Plugins > Basic > Material Management Assistant" menu command. 2. Select the "Estimated" tab. 3. Drag&drop the desired object from the Navigator into the "P&ID-Document/Query/Root" field of the "Estimated" tab. 4. To show material that is already available, click on the "Refresh" button. 5. To collect unavailable material or to update available material, click on the "Collect" button. The result is shown in the form of a list. Result The material is collected and stored in the Navigator in folders under the respective pipe. In addition the result in shown in a list in the Material Management Assistant. The pipes are color-coded in the list to indicate whether pipe spec mapping has been carried out for the associated components. Color Red Orange Green White Description Pipe spec mapping has not been carried out for any of the components. Pipe spec mapping has been carried out for some of the components. Pipe spec mapping has been carried out for all of the components. There is no material associated with the pipe. 4.1.1 Detailing the material If you want to provide more detailed specifications for the material, you need to assign pipe spec components to the MTO objects. Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01 11

Creating material in COMOS 4.1 Creating material from P&ID reports Prerequisite You have already extracted information about material from one or more P&ID reports. See also section Creating material from P&ID reports (Page 11). Procedure To add to the desired information, proceed as follows: 1. On the "Estimated" tab, click on the name of a pipe in the list. A menu opens with the entries "Show details for Pipe" and "Navigate". 2. Click on the entry "Show details for Pipe". The "PID Estimation" window opens. The "PID Estimation" window can alternatively be called up by selecting a unit or a pipe in the Navigator, and clicking on the "MTO > Detail Pipe" command in the context menu. 3. In order to show all available pipe spec parts, click on the "Refresh" button. The available pipe spec parts are shown for the material that was selected from the P&ID reports. 4.

Importing material from external sources 5 5.1 CSV import 5.1.1 Introduction CSV files are used to import material from external sources. Workflow 1. Importing a CSV file See also section Importing CSV files (Page 15). 2. Creating an MTO document See also section Creating MTO documents (Page 23). 3. Creating an MPR document See also section Creating MPR documents (Page 25). 5.1.2 Importing CSV files Prerequisite The structure of the CSV file must conform to the COMOS rules. You can find additional information on this topic in the "COMOS Material Management Administration" manual, keyword "Structure of a CSV file". Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01 15

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS Procedure 1. Open the context menu for an object in the navigator and click on the "MTO > CSV import - owner by subsection" command. With this command, the owner of the MTO objects is identified on the basis of the information in the "Owner" column of the CSV file. Alternatively, open the context menu for an object in the navigator and click on the "MTO > CSV import - owner by selection" command. With this command, the owner of the MTO objects is the object from which you selected the command. The "Select directory" window opens. 2. Select the folder containing the CSV files that you wish to import. 3. Click "OK". Result All the CSV files within the selected directory are imported. "CSV import - owner by subsection" command: The material is created in the navigator in accordance with the configuration of the subsection specified in the CSV file. "CSV import - owner by selection" command: The material is created underneath the object that you used to select the command. The Logfile.xml file is created in the directory from which you imported. Among other things, this log file describes any errors that occurred during the import. 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS 5.2.1 Basic principles Prerequisite To compile a selection set in AVEVA PDMS and transfer it to COMOS, install and activate the AVEVA PDMS interface. You can find additional information on this topic in the "3D Integration Operation" manual, keyword "Activating COMOS PDMS Integration for AVEVA PDMS". 16 Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS Transferring MTO data from AVEVA PDMS to COMOS The MTO operation transfers material from AVEVA PDMS to COMOS. The starting point for the operation is AVEVA PDMS. For this purpose, AVEVA PDMS provides a form which can be used to generate the selection set. See also section Starting the operation in AVEVA PDMS (Page 19). For all objects in this selection set, material files are generated as a first step. These files are evaluated. The result of this evaluation is written to XML files. These XML files can then be read into COMOS. Selection options in AVEVA PDMS When creating the XML files, you can make an assignment in AVEVA PDMS to determine whether this concerns engineering material (current) or released material (released). The XML files are then stored in the corresponding folders and COMOS creates the MTO objects following this. 5.2.2 Operating mode 5.2.2.1 Overview MTO operations can be executed under various operating modes: If there is a connection between COMOS and AVEVA PDMS, the operation is executed in online mode. If there is no connection between COMOS and AVEVA PDMS, the operation is executed in offline mode. It is also possible to write the material to an XML file in batch mode, using a PML macro. 5.2.2.2 Online mode Principle In online mode, start COMOS either locally or via a Citrix server. AVEVA PDMS is running on the same machine. When the XML files have been generated, a command is sent to COMOS. COMOS then fetches the files from the specified directory and imports the MTOs into the COMOS DB. You have the option of viewing the exchange path in the project properties on the "PDMS interface/construction assistant" tab or setting it as an administrator. Transfer directories In online mode, both the material files and the XML files are saved in the exchange path and fetched from there by COMOS. This directory must be known to both systems. Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01 17

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS If, for instance, "pdmswk" is registered as the exchange path, the files are saved as follows: - Material files in the folder "pdmswk/material Files" - XML files for current (preliminary) material in the folder "pdmswk/currentmto" - XML files for released material in the folder "pdmswk/released" 5.2.2.3 Offline mode Principle In offline mode, there is no connection between COMOS and AVEVA PDMS. In AVEVA PDMS, the XML files are created at the push of a button and stored in a specified folder. This completes the operation in AVEVA PDMS. You can then import the XML files into COMOS at any time, using a command in the context menu. In this case the XML files are stored in directories which you define using environment variables in a configuration file. The directories must all point to the document path saved in COMOS. This configuration file with the fixed name "MTOExportSettings.dat" must be accessible to AVEVA PDMS. You can edit the ASCII file "MTOExportSettings.dat" using a text editor. You can find additional information on this topic in the "COMOS Material Management Administration" manual, keyword "MTOExportSettings.dat". 5.2.2.4 Batch mode Principle In batch mode the XML files are created in exactly the same way as in the configuration file. Expand the content of the MTOExportSettings.dat configuration file by adding the names of the pipes to be taken into account in the batch run: // export status of pipes / branches: set R for "released", set C for "current" // path to the material files // path to the current files // path to the released files // path to the temp after iso files // path to the subclass file and the name of it // The following code will be created automatically - do not modify it! // [!START!] The following objects will dealed: =8261/19717 =8261/19730 =8261/19753 The pipes are specified by your RefNo. Here you can also specify the RefNo of a ZONE or SITE. 18 Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS Macro Calling the macro ITExportMTONightjob.pmlfnc creates the material files for the specified pipes. From these files an XML file is then created, which can be read into COMOS at a later point in time. Signature of the macro: define function!!itexportmtonightjob(!isisocall is BOOLEAN) Parameter: If the macro is called in Isodraft:!isIsoCall: True If the macro is not called in Isodraft: False exportmto file You have the option of creating exportmto files that offer access to specific material files that can, in turn, be used to create XML files for each material. See also section exportmto file (Page 27). In the "MTOExportSettings.dat" file, you need to specify the paths to the folders that contain the exportmto files. You can find additional information on this topic in the "COMOS Material Management Administration" manual, keyword "MTOExportSettings.dat". Transfer process: 1. Start of transfer in AVEVA PDMS 2. Preprocessing of the exportmto file The file is checked and is completed where necessary. If there are no material files available, these are created. 3. Processing An XML file is created for each material file. The corresponding MTO objects are created in COMOS. 5.2.3 Starting the operation in AVEVA PDMS The operation is started in AVEVA PDMS using a form that can be found in the PML library supplied. Procedure To start an operation in AVEVA PDMS, proceed as follows: 1. To call the form, click on the menu item "Comos > Interface > Export MTO". AVEVA PDMS checks whether or not a connection to COMOS can be established. The header line shows whether the operation is running in online mode or in offline mode. 2. To create the selection set, click on the "Add all for CE" button. All pipes in the "Design Explorer" under the current element marked are inserted into the "List of Elements". The name of the pipe is displayed in the "Object" column. The quality in which the material for this pipe is created is shown in the "Status" column. Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01 19

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS 3. To set the MTO type, mark the desired pipes in the "List of Elements" and click on the "Set status current" or "Set status released" button. These buttons may be locked if a configuration object has been created in AVEVA PDMS and certain functions have been called. See also section Locking status changes in AVEVA PDMS (Page 20). 4. Once you have created the standard table, you can then create the XML files. Click the "Export MTO" button to do this. This button is located in within the form. 5.2.4 Importing to COMOS in offline mode Procedure To read the XML data created by AVEVA PDMS into COMOS, proceed as follows: 1. On the "Units" tab of the Navigator in COMOS, right-click on any object. 2. In the context menu, click on the "MTO > Import > From PDMS" command. Result All XML files are read in from the folders "CurrentMTO" and "Released", and the MTO objects are created. To prevent the files from being read in again during the next import, after they have been processed they are moved into the subfolder "Imported". 5.2.5 Locking status changes in AVEVA PDMS Procedure 1. Create the!!itexportmtoconfiguration configuration object in AVEVA PDMS. This object is deleted when you exit AVEVA PDMS. 2. Enter one of the following functions in the command window:.setexportmtostatuscurrent() The status of the material is set to "current". The buttons "Set status to "current"" and "Set status to "released"" are locked..setexportmtostatusreleased() The status of the material is set to "released". The buttons "Set status to "current"" and "Set status to "released"" are locked. 20 Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01

Importing material from external sources 5.2 Importing from AVEVA PDMS Unlocking status changes Enter the function.setexportmtostatusboth() in the command window. The buttons "Set status to "current"" and "Set status to "released"" are unlocked. Operating Manual, 08/2011, A5E03640142-01 21
