Format BOM text

(This topic is continued from the previous topic in the series.)

Note

If you did not import a text-based BOM in the previous topic, move to the next topic.

If you imported a text-based BOM file to use for a new process definition, the BOM Text Formatting page displays in the Process Definition wizard.

1. Under Parsing Options, do one of the following to format the text file:
   

   • Select Fixed Width to create fixed-width columns for the BOM data, then enter the desired column width.

   • Select Delimited, then use the drop-down to select the delimiter used in the BOM file to separate the various data values (comma, semicolon, colon, bar, tab, double tab, space, or double space). If a delimiter character isn’t listed, you can enter it int he Delimited drop-down.

2. To save your text formatting for use with other text-based BOM files you import, select the Save  button, enter a Template Name, then select OK.
   
   

   

   
   

Note

If you apply a template to a text-based BOM but then decide you don't want to use the template, select the Delete  button.

3. When you finish formatting the BOM text, select Next to move to the BOM Formatting page where you can make additional modifications.
   
   Now you're ready to move on to BOM Formatting.
