Validation
When the material classification file is imported, the importer does the following:
- If the MATCAT_CODE matches an existing material classification code for an IMDS material classification in Materials Compliance Management, the material classification should be updated to reflect the new description in the MATCAT_NAME field.
- If a MATCAT_CODE does not match an existing material classification code for an IMDS material classification in Materials Compliance Management, the material classification should be added with the description and classification code.
- All the existing IMDS material classifications in Materials Compliance Management that are not contained in the file are deleted. This is done only in the case when no materials in Materials Compliance Management reference the material classification. When the deletion cannot be done due to a material reference, a warning message is displayed.
