Generate complete material requisition packages directly from P&IDs and datasheets. Pathnovo extracts equipment / valve / instrument / line items from project P&IDs, populates MR templates with quantities + spec + vendor list, and delivers procurement-ready MR packages in 48 hours. The upstream end of the procurement intelligence chain: MR → BOM → TBE → PO. Live with GCKC + Zetwerk in production builds.
Pathnovo reads project P&IDs and extracts every procurable item: equipment (pumps, vessels, exchangers, columns, drums), valves (control valves, manual valves, safety valves, isolation valves), instruments (transmitters, switches, gauges, control valves), and line items (piping, fittings, flanges). Each item structured with tag, type, service, design conditions, materials, code reference.
Output formatted into client-native MR templates: equipment MR, valve MR, instrument MR, piping MR. Standard fields populated: tag list, quantity, specification, design conditions, materials, code reference, vendor list, lead time, project reference. Custom templates configured per client at project kickoff.
Each MR item validated against project Piping Material Specification (PMS), instrument schedule, equipment design specifications, and applicable code (ASME, ASTM, EN, IS). Spec deviations flagged before MR issue. Cross-referenced against datasheets where available.
Optional: integrate client's approved vendor list (AVL) so generated MR packages include pre-qualified vendor recommendations. Multi-vendor strategy embedded (typically 3-5 qualified vendors per MR for competitive RFQ).
Quantities derived from P&ID-driven analysis: equipment count, valve count by type/service, instrument count by loop, piping length estimates. Cross-validated against isometric MTO where isometrics are available (see /solutions/piping-mto-extraction). Final MR quantities reflect full project scope, not partial drawings.
GeM (Government e-Marketplace) compatible MR formats for Indian PSU procurement. Aramco / ADNOC / QatarEnergy / KOC / Petronas client-format MR templates pre-configured. Indian PSU rate-card compatibility for L&T Hydrocarbon, Tata Projects, Petrofac India, Toyo Engineering India. UAE + Saudi + Bahrain + Qatar + Oman + Kuwait procurement standards supported.
Live in production with GCKC (P&ID-to-MR workflow) and Zetwerk (BOM expansion + vendor selection). Continuous improvement based on real EPC procurement engagements. Named-customer references available under NDA.

Multi-package consolidation: 12-30 separate MRs across equipment / valve / instrument / piping disciplines generated from one P&ID set
Vendor RFQ acceleration: MR packages issued to 3-5 qualified vendors per spec immediately
Replacement procurement during construction: MR for late-stage scope additions or vendor swaps generated in 24 hours
M&A integration procurement: legacy plant procurement scope reconstructed from acquired-asset P&ID archives
An MR is the procurement engineering document that specifies what to buy: tags, quantities, specifications, design conditions, materials, code references, vendor list, lead time. Each MR covers a specific scope (e.g. centrifugal pump package, control valve package, piping spool package). MRs are the input to Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE), which evaluates vendor bids against the MR specification. Pathnovo automates MR package generation from upstream P&ID + datasheet sources.
For a typical $50M-capex unit revamp with 50-100 MR packages: 4-8 weeks of senior procurement engineer + lead engineer + materials engineer time. Each MR carries 50-200 line items requiring spec validation, code reference checks, and vendor list consolidation. Manual error rates run 5-15% with downstream rework cost. Pathnovo automates the assembly layer in 48 hours, leaving the procurement engineer to focus on vendor selection and commercial terms.
Yes, this is exactly Pathnovo's capability. P&ID-driven extraction provides the procurable items (equipment, valves, instruments, line items); datasheet extraction provides the per-item specifications (design conditions, materials, code references); MR template auto-population combines them into client-native MR format. Output is procurement-ready in 48 hours.
MR (Material Requisition) is procurement-shaped: tag, quantity, specification, vendor list, lead time, project reference. BOM (Bill of Materials) is fabrication-shaped: every item to be procured, quantity, unit cost, total cost. MR is issued to vendors for RFQ; BOM is the project's procurement scope ledger. Pathnovo generates both: MR for procurement issue, BOM for project scope tracking. They share the same underlying extraction data.
End-to-end procurement intelligence chain: P&ID extraction → MR package assembly (this workflow) → TBE on returned vendor bids → PO issued to selected vendor → MTR traceability when material ships. Pathnovo handles every layer with shared underlying data. The MR specification captured at this stage carries through to TBE evaluation and MTR validation downstream, eliminating spec drift between procurement and inspection.
Yes. GeM (Government e-Marketplace) compatible MR formats supported. Indian PSU rate-card compatibility for IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL procurement engineering standards. IBR / PESO / CCOE compliance overlay applied automatically when applicable to MR scope (pressure equipment, hazardous-area instrumentation, electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres).
MR package assembly is included on every paid tier of the credit-based pricing model. A typical mid-EPC unit MR package fits comfortably inside Starter (1,000 credits/month) or Professional (5,000 credits/month) depending on attached datasheet count. Greenfield EPC projects with 50-100+ MR packages typically sit on Scale (25,000+ credits) or Enterprise. Free 14-day trial with 100 credits to validate on a single MR package before commercial commitment. Indian PSU rate-card compatibility available. See our pricing page for full plan details.
