Use this subtask to enter provisional part data "on the fly" when you manually enter a component part that does not exist in Costpoint.
If you manually enter an assembly or component part on the Manage Engineering Bills of Material screen and the part ID does not exist in Costpoint, a message appears asking if you would like to establish the unrecognized part/revision ID as a provisional part. Click No to return to the main screen, or select Yes to open this subtask and enter provisional part data "on-the-fly." Upon saving the record, the provisional part is accessible wherever provisional parts are used. Provisional part data can be maintained in the Manage Provisional Parts screen in Costpoint Product Definition or Costpoint Materials Estimating. Provisional part information can only be included in unreleased engineering bills of material (EBOMs), proposal bills of material (PBOMs), and proposal records for planning and estimating purposes.
