PART (PRT)

Part Line Layout

The Part table stores additional information that is necessary for maintaining Part ("P") Item Types. The Item Type for each new ITEM line in the (ITM) record must be "P" (Part) in order to process new Part (PRT) line records, or a matching Part that exists in Costpoint. The data from the PRT file updates the PART table in Costpoint. The Part (PRT) layout is not required and is not compatible with Item Types that are Services (S) or Goods (G).

The information stored for each field can be viewed/updated in the Maintain Parts and Basic Part Data screens in Costpoint Product Definition.

For Oracle databases, the Item layout described in ITM is required for inserting new items, including parts, goods, and services. If a line's Item Type is "P" (Part) for a new ITEM, you must have matching PRT and IUM  line records in order to populate the ITEM and PART tables in Costpoint. If you do not enter a PRT line record in the input file, the program will create one using the values in the ITM line record, and use it to populate the PART table in Costpoint. You can also use the PRT line record to modify existing parts in Costpoint. If you use the PT2 record format for part setup and maintenance, it contains all information required to populate the required tables for a part.

The application uses default values for INSERTS ONLY if the input file field value was left blank.  The exception is the MODIFIED_BY column, which is updated using the default value if no value is provided.
