title: Trackable Parts
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Denoting a part as *Trackble* changes the way that [stock items](../../stock/stock) associated with the particular part are handled in the database. A trackable part also has more restrictions imposed by the database scheme.
|
|
|
|
## Stock Tracking
|
|
|
|
For many parts in an InvenTree database, simply tracking current stock levels (and locations) is sufficient. However, some parts require more extensive tracking than simple stock level knowledge.
|
|
|
|
Any stock item associated with a trackable part *must* have either a batch number or a serial number. This includes stock created manually or via an internal process (such as a [Purchase Order](../../buy/po) or a [Build Order](/../../build/build)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build Orders
|
|
|
|
Build orders have some extra requirements when either building a trackable part, or using parts in the Bill of Materials which are themselves trackable. |
