Importing SBOM Data from KISS or CSV Files

Supported File Formats

ROMAC supports the following import types:

• KISS files (.KSS): Standard export format from detailing software
• CSV files (.CSV): Spreadsheet-style files with columns mapped to SBOM fields

Both formats can be imported directly into a project and matched to drawing-level entries.

Preparing for Import

Before importing:

1. Create a project and open it
2. Ensure SBOM drawings are created (use placeholder numbers if needed)
3. Ensure shape codes in the import file match ROMAC standards
4. For CSV, verify column headers and format are correct

KISS files must use recognized shape and spec formats. Contact ROMAC support for templates if needed.

Importing a CSV File

To import a CSV file:

   • Quantity
   • Piece Mark
   • Description

You may need to edit lines after import to finalize drawing metadata or add missing values.

Troubleshooting Import Errors

If errors occur:

• Check shape codes and formatting
• Confirm unit settings (inches vs. feet)
• Validate drawing numbers before re-importing

Unmatched entries will be flagged and skipped during processing.
