Enter a part preference code containing one alphanumeric character. You can assign this part preference type to an alternate part number to indicate its level of acceptability. You can use this code in the Alternate Parts screen to indicate the alternate parts preference. This is a required field.
Enter a part preference type description containing up to 30 alphanumeric characters. This is a required field. For example, you could assign the description "Not to be used in new design" to the code letter "N" or "Only to be used in new designs" to code letter "O."
