Create Engineering Part
This page leads you through the steps for creating a new engineering
part. The sections included are:
Prerequisites
- Define the standard name for the part in the Product Basic
Data/Std
Name Lang tab.
- Define a class in the
Product Basic
Data/Classes tab.
- Define a main group in Product Basic
Data/Main Group tab.
Steps
In the Engineering Parts or
Part/Engineering/Part Detail windows:
- Create a new engineering part record by clicking the
New button in the toolbar,
or by right-clicking in the window and then clicking Create New Part.
Note: You can also create a new
engineering part by using the
Create New Engineering Part wizard.
Creating a new part in any of the above windows or in the wizard also creates a
new Part Catalog record for the part.
- Enter the mandatory fields, i.e., standard name, description, and ISO unit. This requires that only the first prerequisite
has been done. If you leave the part number field blank, the system will generate one for you.
If you do not clear the Current Revision field,
you also will generate the first engineering
part revision. You also can fill in more fields, but if you do, you must
first complete the second and third prerequisites.
- Enable serial tracking
for the part by selecting the After Delivery Serial Tracking check
box on the Part Catalog record for
the part. You also can select the Inventory Serial Tracking check box if
you want full serial tracking through the inventory.
