How To Create Various BOM Report Types in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, the BOM report information may vary with respect to different requirements of the project, for example (FABRICATION, ERECTION, CONTINUOUS types).

Background

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using OpenPlant Modeler/AutoPlant Modeler various BOM report types required as mentioned above. It can be achieved through modifying the report.def file under the style folder present under each project. Various types of reports can be created and stored under the style folder, which can be later utilized by renaming the files by the user. The information below will help the user to achieve various types of settings. This can be experienced by using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant Modeler. This has been shown in context with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However a similar approach could be utilized for AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager using the Isometric Configuration Dialog either using in session from within Project Administrator or from out of session using the Windows Start menu and launching the OpenPlant Isometrics Manager application.

Steps to acomplish

Case 1: For any FABRICATION report use these filters

INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=0
EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD

Note: Disable any other available reports for example FLD by adding the hashtag (#) value as a prefix and keep the node number under Combi report (Optional).
See image below:

Save and Close report file and generate isometrics to verify results:

Case 2: For any ERECTION report use these filters

INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=1
EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD

Note: Disable any other available report for example the SHP report by adding the hashtag (#) symbol as a prefix and keep the node number under Combi report (Optional). See image below:

Save and Close report file and generate isometrics to verify results:

Case 3: For a CONTINUOUS report use this filter:

EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD
In order to get a continuous numbering sequence, IE_PARTID_SF_COMBINED=1 should be set in style.cfg. See image below:

Save and Close the report file and generate isometrics to verify results:

Case 4: To Create Report with Pipe and Fitting Sort headers without showing Shop/ Field Category.

Open Report.def file from Style folder & add below variable under Shop Report.

INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=1

Now Open rep_sortgroups.txt from Style folder combine all component under Fitting Sort Header as shown in below image.


After making changes in Style folder files, verify the results. See Below image:
