# Part
## Part
The *Part* is the core element of the InvenTree ecosystem. A Part object is the archetype of any stock item in your inventory. Parts are arranged in heirarchical categories which are used to organise and filter parts by function.

Clicking on the part name links to the [*Part Detail*](../views) view.
## Part Options
Each *Part* defined in the database provides a number of different options which determine how that part can be used. Configuring these options for a given part will impact the available functions that can be perform on (or using) that part).
### Virtual
A *Virtual* part is one which does not physically exist but should still be tracked in the system. This could be a process step, machine time, software license, etc.
### Template
A *Template* part is one which can have *variants* which exist underneath it. [Read further information about template parts here](../template).
### Assembly
If a part is designated as an *Assembly* it can be created (or built) from other component parts. As an example, a circuit board assembly is made using multiple electronic components, which are tracked in the system. An *Assembly* Part has a Bill of Materials (BOM) which lists all the required sub-components. [Read further information about BOM management here](../../build/bom).
### Component
If a part is designated as a *Component* it can be used as a sub-component of an *Assembly*. [Read further information about BOM management here](../../build/bom)
### Trackable
Trackable parts can be assigned batch numbers or serial numbers which uniquely identify a particular stock item. Trackable parts also provide other features (and restrictions) in the InvenTree ecosystem.
[Read further information about trackable parts here](/../trackable).
### Purchaseable
If a part is designated as *Purchaseable* it can be purchased from external suppliers. Setting this flag allows parts to be added to [purchase orders](../../buy/po).
### Salable
If a part is designated as *Salable* it can be sold to external customers. Setting this flag allows parts to be added to sales orders.
### Active
By default, all parts are *Active*. Marking a part as inactive means it is not available for many actions, but the part remains in the database. If a part becomes obsolete, it is recommended that it is marked as inactive, rather than deleting it from the database.
