Manage Parts

Use this screen when you need to create parts and assign various characteristics that are specific to each part, or when you need to change the data related to an existing part.

Use this screen to set up parts only; services and goods have their own setup functions.

You may choose to first set up all the required data and return later to add the other information, or you may choose to set up all the part information at one time.

Note: Entering part data in the screen's three tabs is the absolute minimum amount of information necessary for purchasing and inventory functions.

Set up this function during initialization and maintain it whenever you add or modify parts. You must define some control parameters (using screens in the Product Definition Controls menu) before adding a part that controls parameters.

When this screen launches, it defaults to a form-view display. Queried items display in table view.

This screen contains three tabs:

• Characteristics: Use this tab to enter the basic characteristics, quality and codes setup inherent to specific parts.
• Serial Lot Information: Use this tab to establish tracking information for a specific part.
• Comments: Use this tab to enter comments and establish any additional part information.
