## Short answer

To get a SolidWorks bill of materials into DELMIAworks, export the BOM with item numbers that match the ERP item master, stage it, validate it, and load it through a supported import or the web API. SPC and shop-floor add-ons connect through the same pattern: define the data, the owner of each field, and a validation step. Confirm product specifics with the vendor.

## Applies To

DELMIAworks (IQMS) with SolidWorks or SolidWorks PDM. Vendor-specific add-on names (including ShopWorks) should be confirmed with your reseller.

## Steps

### BOM transfer from SolidWorks to DELMIAworks

**Items:**

- Agree the item numbering rule so SolidWorks part numbers equal ERP item numbers.
- Add custom properties in SolidWorks for the ERP fields (description, unit of measure, make or buy, material).
- Export the BOM, from SolidWorks or PDM, to a flat file or table with a revision.
- Load it into a staging area and validate: missing items, unit mismatches, duplicate levels.
- Create new items in the ERP item master first, then the BOM structure.
- Load through a vendor-supported import or the web API; do not write straight to the tables.
- Control revisions with an engineering change process so released BOMs are not overwritten.
- Reconcile after load: compare counts and a few BOMs by hand.

## Sections

### Who owns what

**Body:**

Engineering owns geometry, drawings and the design BOM; the ERP owns the manufacturing BOM, routings and costs. The two are not identical: the ERP BOM adds phantom, consumable and purchased items that the CAD model never contained. Decide this before building any integration.

### SPC

**Body:**

Statistical process control needs measurement data tied to a part, a characteristic and a work order. DELMIAworks includes quality functions, and some sites use separate SPC tools. Whichever you use, the integration must carry part number, operation, characteristic, limits and result, and must not let operators edit limits.

### Shop-floor add-ons

**Body:**

ShopWorks and similar tools are shop-floor data collection add-ons. Ask the vendor for the supported connection method, the data it reads and writes, and its support for your version. Keep a test environment so that updates to either side can be tried first.

## Pitfalls

- Assuming the CAD BOM is the manufacturing BOM.
- Different part numbers in CAD and ERP, forcing manual mapping.
- Loading BOMs without revision control.
- Buying an add-on without checking compatibility with your DELMIAworks version.

## Ai Angle

An assistant can compare a staged CAD BOM against the ERP item master and existing BOMs, listing missing items and unit conflicts before anything loads. It reads and reports; the load remains an approved step. Netray builds such checks on-prem.

## Faq

### Does DELMIAworks integrate with SolidWorks?

**Answer:** Both belong to Dassault Systemes, and sites typically move BOMs through exports and supported imports. Ask your reseller for the current supported method for your version.

### Can SPC data live in DELMIAworks?

**Answer:** DELMIAworks has quality capabilities, and some sites add dedicated SPC tools. Choose based on your characteristics and reporting needs, and confirm with the vendor.

### What is ShopWorks for DELMIAworks?

**Answer:** It is referred to as a shop-floor add-on. Confirm its vendor, supported versions and connection method with your reseller before relying on it.
