received it.

Paul,
I wonder if you have had a look at the piping MTO database that I sent you?
Please do when you have the time.
This is a system that I had done to use with the Shell MESC and the newer
SAP material numbering. It can enter MTO, line wise and Isometric wise.
Assemblies can also be entered. Which is exploded to its components. Report
Summaries can be made line wise and Isometric wise. The isometric wise MTO
can be exported to excel for placing on a manual CAD isometric.
I would like you to post this on the Pipingdesign.com as a downloadable. The
internal logics are simple enough for someone with an understanding of a
relational database. They can use it as a freeware and develop or modify it
further to put additional features.
I am currently using the Intergraph Marian material management system. This
one is based on the lines of the SAP system. It does material descriptions
on a rule based method, Piping classes, material requistions, construction
fabrication spooling, NDE tracking inventory management etc. It is also for
the material take off and management for other disciplines.
This probably must be the reason that data is contained in about 1000 or
more tables. So much so that the system is so complicated that the bugs and
the other fixes that need to be done, Intergraph is reluctant to take up.
There are various silly restrictions such as the number of characters that
one enter for the description of an item.
In real terms if the task of doing the MTO and the material requisition and
others were done manually. it is a simple enough to understand. Not so much
complicated logics as this system would make it appear.
