XML Export / Import: Overview of Tags and Attributes

Parts data import and export is done using an XML file, which must be structured as follows:

Notes:

  • The <partsmanagement> tag may only be defined once! All other tags can be defined several times and can also be omitted, for instance, if you have defined a variant without function template or a drilling pattern without data.
    Exception:
    At least one variant (<variant> tag) must always be defined for a part (<part> tag)!
  • The tag <variantx> below the tag <variant> has the properties (attributes), which before Version 2022 were only assigned to the part (tag <part>) and which are now variant-dependent. The <variantx> tag can only be used as of the second variant and contains differences from the first variant.
    Exception:
    The attribute P_ARTICLE_PARTNR (part number) must only be defined for the <part> tag.
