There are several built-in B2MML and MES (non-B2MML) structures that users can select in the mapper, as well as a more complete set that can be created in the Start Block as Chart Parameters. * [Mapping to B2MML Structures](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h2_1373228893) * [B2MML Chart Parameters](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h2_1489386488) * [Built-in B2MML Structures](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h2_1238862558) * [B2MML](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h3__1605017496) * [MES](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h3_1596707867) * [OperationsSchedule](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h3__57961097) * [Material](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h3__1227715037) * [WorkOrder](/articles/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/a/h3_601004007) Save MES Object Block | ![Information](/resources/Storage/user-manual/user-manual/Info.png) | Although all of the supported B2MML structures can be mapped in the mapper, the Save MES Object Block can only save the following five structures as MES Objects:

The images to the right and the list below show the types of B2MML and MES structures available. The ones in ***bold*** below can be saved as **MES Objects** using the Save MES Object Block (the first four are B2MML-compliant and the fifth is an MES-specific structure): * ***OperationsSchedule*** * ***OperationsDefinition*** * **ProcessSegment** * ***Material*** * ***WorkOrder*** * Equipment * Personnel * OperationsPerformance * OperationsCapability * ProductDefinition * ProductionSchedule * ProductionPerformance * ProductionCapability * WorkDefinition * WorkSchedule * WorkPerformance * WorkCapability * WorkAlert * PhysicalAsset ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/Start%20Block%20-%20Edit%20Parameters%20-%20B2MML.PNG) ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/Start%20Block%20-%20Edit%20Parameters%20-%20MES.PNG) * * * ### Built-in B2MML Structures Several of the supported B2MML and MES structures can be directly mapped by the mapper, without requiring being created as a Chart Parameter in the Start Block. They will appear in the mapper's **Parameter Values** drop-down list: #### B2MML * OperationsSchedule * OperationsDefinition * ProcessSegment * Material ### MES * WorkOrder The minimum required properties for the [Save MES Object Block](/docs/display/BC/Save-MES-Object-Block) to successfully save the structure as an MES Object are listed below. ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/Mapping%20-%20Parameter%20Values%20Drop-down%20List.PNG) * * * ### OperationsSchedule The minimum required mapping for an Operations Schedule: **Must have these two:** * OperationsSchedule / ***ID*** * OperationsRequest / ***OperationsDefinitionID*** **Also must include some combination of date(s) and/or quantity:** * OperationsSchedule / ***StartTime*** and OperationsSchedule / ***EndTime*** * OperationsSchedule / ***StartTime*** and OperationsSchedule / ***Quantity*** * OperationsRequest / ***StartTime*** and OperationsRequest / ***EndTime*** * SegmentRequirement / ***StartTime*** and SegmentRequirement / ***EndTime*** * SegmentRequirement / ***StartTime*** and SegmentRequirement / ***Quantity*** * OperationsSchedule / ***StartTime*** and OperationsRequest / ***EndTime*** | ![Information](/resources/Storage/user-manual/user-manual/Info.png) | The module will look for the earliest **StartTime** and latest **EndTime** between all the current **OperationsSchedule**, **OperationsRequest**, and **SegmentRequirement** and use them to mark the bounds of the schedule. | | --- | --- | ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/B2MML%20-%20OperationsSchedule.PNG) * * * ### Material The minimum required mapping for a Material Object: **Material Class** * Requires at least the **Material Class ID** (***MaterialClassID***). * In order to assign a **Material Class** with one or more **Material Definition** objects, one or more **Material Definition ID**s must be mapped in to the **MaterialDefinition[]** section of the **Material Class**. ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/Material%20mapping%20-%20MaterialClassID.PNG) **Material Definition** * Requires at least the **Material Definition ID** (***MaterialDefinitionID***). * In order to assign a **Material Definition** to one or more **Material Class** objects, one or more **Material Class ID**s must be mapped in to the **MaterialClass[]** section of the **Material Definition**. ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/Material%20mapping%20-%20MaterialDefinitionID.PNG) ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/B2MML%20-%20Material.PNG) * * * ### WorkOrder The minimum required mapping for an MES Work Order: * WorkOrderInformation / WorkOrder / ***Name*** and * WorkOrderInformation / WorkOrder / ***MaterialDefinitionID*** and * WorkOrderInformation / WorkOrder / ***Quantity***and * WorkOrderInformation / WorkOrder / ***DueDate*** ![](/resources/Storage/user-manual/mapping-to-b2mml-structures/B2MML%20-%20WorkOrder.PNG) **Sepasoft MES Module Suite**
