Export Conversion
Export Conversion
Export conversion can be used to convert IMPACT names into numbers when the PCP export is created. The reason for the conversion is often that the IMPACT names can't be recognized in the ERP system and therefore needs to be converted into something that the ERP system can read.
The export conversion is structured with three columns:
Type - Sets the attribute that should be converted in the export.
IMPACT - The name/value in IMPACT.
Export - The name in the PCP export.
The table below shows the different types that can be selected under Export conversions and an example on the IMPACT name and the converted name in the PCP export.
| Type | IMPACT | Export | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRODUCT | HC21 | 110010 | Converts the product in the element definition. |
| QUANTITY_INSULATION | Polystyrene | 401010 | Converts the insulation material selected in the element - How IMPACT reads the "IMPACT cell" can be set as a project propertie. |
| QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_BAR | 10-B | 201010 | Converts the reinforcement bars. All bars and stirrups with the same diameter and quality are summarized - The IMPACT value is: "Diameter"-"Quality" |
| QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_BENDED_MESH | 5100-Nps500 | 315200 | Converts the reinforcement bended mesh. All bended mesh with the same diameter and quality are summarized - How IMPACT reads the "IMPACT cell" can be set as a project propertie. |
| QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_GROUP | A1 | 501410 | Converts the reinforcement group - How IMPACT reads the "IMPACT cell" can be set as a project propertie. |
| QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_MESH | 5200-Nps500 | 305200 | Converts the reinforcement mesh. All mesh with the same diameter and quality are summarized - How IMPACT reads the "IMPACT cell" can be set as a project propertie. |
| QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_WIRE | Wire | 025140 | Converts the wires in pre-stressed elements. |
| QUANTITY_SURFACE | Painted | 502001 | Converts the drawing attributes "SURFACE_TREATMENT_NON_MOULDING" & "SURFACE_TREATMENT_MOULDING" - In project properties is it possible to set how |
| QUANTITY_VOLUME | White Cement Type 1 | 201003 | Converts the drawing attributes "CONCRETE_TREATMENT", "CONCRETE_TREATMENT_INNER", "CONCRETE_TREATMENT_OUTER", "CONCRETE_TREATMENT_PANEL_1", & "CONCRETE_TREATMENT_PANEL_2" |

Its possible to set different rules for when and how IMPACT should see the values under "IMPACT".
The different settings can be found under "Project Properties - ERP". The marked settings in "Figure 1: Project properties - ERP" is the settings that sets the rules for the export conversion.
Figure 1: Project properties - ERP
"Table 2: Export Conversion settings" shows the different settings available in "Project properties - ERP".
| Setting | Options | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Conversion of product | Yes / No | Sets if the product should be converted. |
| Concrete | No / Treatment or Material / (Material - Quality - Exposure Class) or Material / Material | Sets the reference naming for "QUANTITY_VOLUME". Treatment, Quality & Exposure class is drawing attributes. |
| Insulation | INSU + Thickness / Material / Material - Thickness | Sets the reference naming for "QUANTITY_INSULATION". INSU is a drawing attribute. |
| Surfaces | PAINT / Treatment of surface up/dn or 1 | Sets the reference naming for "QUANTITY_SURFACE". If PAINT is set will it always write "PAINT" in the export. "Treatment of surface up" and "Treatment of surface down" is drawing attributes. |
| Reinforcement Group | GROUP / NAME | Sets the reference naming for "QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_GROUP" |
| Reinforcement Mesh | Name + Quality / Diameter + Quality / Name + Quality and Diameter + Quality | Sets the reference naming for "QUANTITY_REINFORCEMENT_MESH" |
