Project Substitute Part Line Layout (PSP)

The Project Substitute Part (PROJ_SUBST_PART) table stores substitute part information (that is, parts that can be used instead of the original part) at a project level.

The application cannot process Substitute Part Line Types unless the Item and Project ID exist.

This Line Type is not processed if the item is a Service or a Good. Only P (Part) item types are processed.

If the Substitute Flag column (in the Part Project table) is N(No), you cannot insert rows in the Project Part Substitute table, and an error returns if you attempt to process this table.

You can view or update the information stored in this table on the Substitute Project Parts subtask of the Manage Part Project Data screen in Costpoint Product Definition.

Note: The application uses default values for INSERTS ONLY if the input file field value is not provided. The exception is MODIFIED_BY, which is updated using the default value if no value is provided.
