|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Part information page organizes part data into sections, displayed as tabs.
|
|
|
|
## Part Details
|
|
|
|
The *Details* tab shows a detail view which provides information about the particular part.
|
|
|
|
{% with id="part_overview", url="part/part_overview.png", description="Part details" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
A Part is defined in the system by the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
### Part Definition Fields
|
|
|
|
**Part Name** - The Part name is a simple (unique) text label
|
|
|
|
**Description** - Longer form text field describing the Part
|
|
|
|
**Internal Part Number (IPN)** - A special code which can be used to link a part to a numbering system. The IPN field is not required, but may be useful where a part numbering system has been defined.
|
|
|
|
**Revision** - An optional revision code denoting the particular version for the part. Used when there are multiple revisions of the same master part object.
|
|
|
|
**Category** - The Part category is used to group or arrange parts, as per the particular requirements of the user. Categories are arranged in a 'tree' where each category may have multiple child categories.
|
|
|
|
**External Link** - An external URL field is provided to link to an external page. This could be useful the part has extra documentation located on an external server.
|
|
|
|
**Units** - Units of measure (UoM) for this Part. The default is 'pcs'
|
|
|
|
### Part Options
|
|
|
|
A Part can provide different functionality based on the following options.
|
|
|
|
**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](/part/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** - If a part is designed as *trackable*, it can be tracked using unique serial numbers.
|
|
|
|
**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.
|
|
|
|
