Substitute Part Line Layout (SPT)

The Substitute Part (SUBST_PART) table stores substitute part information that can be used in place of the original part.

The application cannot process Substitute Part Line Types unless the Item exists.

This Line Type is processed for Parts only; item types that are a Service or a Good are not processed.

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

Note: The application uses defaults 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.
