---
The Part information page organizes part data into sections, displayed as tabs.

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" %}

{% 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.

**Units** - Units of measure (UoM) for this Part. The default is 'pcs'
