 ## Manufacturer Parts
 
-Manufacturer parts are connected to the manufacturer they belong to. Most importantly, they are **linked** to a supplier part. In other words, manufacturer parts do **not** exist without a corresponding supplier part and they are the actual "items" sold by a supplier.
+Manufacturer parts are linked to a manufacturer and defined as manufacturable items.

 [#1426](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/1426) introduces a new feature which allows stock items to be allocated to a sales order using serial number references. This provides a much more streamlined user experience. Refer to the [sales order documentation](../../companies/so/) for further information.
 
+### Manufacturer Parts

+[#1417](https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/1417) adds a new model and
+database table to InvenTree: `ManufacturerPart`. In older versions, manufacturer
+data was stored inside a `SupplierPart`. With this new model, the data is now
+stored independently. Users can use either manufacturer or supplier parts as
+sourcing information for a part. Soon, InvenTree will allow the use of
+manufacturer data directly in purchase orders.
