This is an ASCII CSV file format without any fixed filename for MultiTAS use.
IMPORTANT
This will NOT create a TAS assembly record.
Process code, description, product code and quantity of first line is left blank. Any text in fields 4 through 13 is used as the Extended Description of the ‘whole assembly’. Where fields 4 through 13 are populated for processes, the description applies to that process only
While the ‘left’ side of the file is used to detail processes relating to how it is made, the ‘right’ side is used to detail what it is made up of. It is acceptable to end up with the Process fields populated and the following BoM field not (and vice versa)
