Unit of Measure Mapping Library

The Unit of Measure Mapping Library utility permits users to permanently capture and manage an unlimited number of relationships using the unit of measure names as exported from their CAD (or other) tools and mapping them to the units of measure records that correspond to those associated with the Impact Estimator material records.

When a Bill of Materials file is imported and a material record is mapped, the imported unit of measure name is automatically checked against the Unit of Measure Mapping Library for each mapped material. If a match is found, the Unit of Measure Conversion Factor that converts the imported material quantity from the imported unit of measure name to the Impact Estimator Unit of Measure is automatically populated.

All imported unit of measure names that have matches in the Unit of Measure Mapping Library are automatically mapped but only after the corresponding imported material has been mapped. This will reduce the effort and time that the user spends on importing subsequent project bill of materials files.

Import Library: Use this button to import a UOM Mapping library file and merge the imported records with the current library state.

Export Library: Use this button to export the most recently saved library to the file system.

#: The record number in the library form. This is automatically resequenced when the library form is sorted such that the first record displayed always corresponds to number 1.

Mapping Is Editable: This field is TRUE if the library record was entered by the user (and hence is user defined). If on the other hand, the library record was defined in the database by the Athena Institute, it cannot be edited by the user and this field value will be FALSE.

Record Is Editable: This field is TRUE if the library record was entered by the user (and hence is user defined). If on the other hand, the library record was defined in the database by the Athena Institute, it cannot be edited by the user and this field value will be FALSE.

From UOM Name: Enter a name that corresponds to a UOM that will be mapped to a database UOM record.

Display Name: Enter a meaningful display name for the UOM that will be mapped. By default, it will be the same as the "From UOM Name".

Description: Enter a meaningful description for the UOM that will be mapped. By default, it will be the same as the "From UOM Name".

Conversion Factor: Enter a conversion factor that converts from the "From UOM Name" to the mapped database UOM record.

To UOM Name: Pick a Unit of Measure database record to map the present "From UOM Name" to.

Display Name: The display name for the mapped UOM database record.

Description: The description for the mapped UOM database record.
