Create a fabricate

A fabricate is a material created from other raw materials, either on site using internal resources or by an external fabricator. A fabricate is specific to a project and you cannot use the fabricate in multiple projects.

You can create fabricates as a replacement for a standard material or a project component. The replacement does not require any changes in the existing part list, material take-off, or delivery request list related to the original material. After the fabricate is designated as a replacement, the fabricate takes over the role of the standard material or the project component that is replaced.

1. Navigate to the s20017 Fabricate Catalogue screen.

2. In the Current Project control block, from the Project dropdown, select the required project ID.

3. To refresh the screen, select the F5 key.

4. On the Home menu, in the Record group, select Create.

   In the Fabricate Catalogue grid, a blank row is created.

   • In the Fab Id field, enter the unique ID of a fabricate.

6. (Optional) Enter the relevant details in other fields as required. For more information on all the fields, see s20017 Field descriptions.

   The fabricate is created.
