The mapping section at the bottom displays the internal predefined fields which are mapped to equivalent fields in either the Parts Database or Project Database:

Important: It is not recommended to change any of these default mappings other than the Display Name.

Nameplate Settings

A nameplate field has been predefined and mapped to the corresponding record in the SAP database (User31). The settings below let you Add/Remove attributes for the nameplate.

Setting	Description
Nameplate field	The default value assigned to this (User31) represents the table record in the SAP database assigned to the nameplate. If the value is changed it would not be mapped to the correct record for the nameplate.
Name Plate text attributes	The list of default attributes shown (NameplateLine1, NameplateLine2 etc.) are already mapped to the nameplate record in the SAP database. You can add an attribute by selecting it from the drop down list then clicking the Add [+] button. Existing attributes can be removed by selecting them and clicking the Remove [X] button.

Submission Settings

This section is used by the administrator to define the settings for the BOM submission. The administrator will define the URL where the BOM payload will be submitted, username and password.

Important: The information below is just an example of how this functionality operates. This functionality is completely custom and will need to be configured for an organization's specific needs before it will operate successfully. Please contact your organization's Bentley representative for details on how to configure this feature.
