| Creating a Part |
Part Creation
New parts can be created manually via the web interface, or imported from an external source.
To create or import a part, navigate to the Parts view in the user interface, and select the Add Parts dropdown menu above the parts table:

!!! info "Permissions" If the user does not have "create" permission for the Part permission group, the Add Parts menu will not be available.
Create Part Form
New parts can be created manually by selecting the Create Part option from the menu. A part creation form is opened as shown below:
{{ image("part/part_create_form.png", "New part form") }}
Fill out the required part parameters and then press Submit to create the new part. If there are any form errors, you must fix these before the form can be successfully submitted.
Once the form is completed, the browser window is redirected to the new part detail page.
Initial Stock
If the Create Initial Stock setting is enabled, then an extra section is available in the part creation form to create an initial quantity of stock for the newly created part:
If this setting is enabled, the following elements are available in the form:
{{ image("part/part_initial_stock.png", "Initial stock") }}
Checking the Create Initial Stock form input then allows the creation of an initial quantity of stock for the new part.
Supplier Options
If the part is marked as Purchaseable, the form provides some extra options to initialize the new part with manufacturer and / or supplier information:

Import from File
Parts can be imported from an external file, by selecting the Import from File option.
This action opens the data import wizard, which steps the user through the process of importing parts from the selected file.
