A design object with additional parts refers to a design object for which additional parts have been defined. Additional parts are secondary design parts used to form the basis for purchasing the equipment, document the design in terms of equipment assembly and provide an accurate spare parts list for the equipment object in IFS/Equipment.
For example, an impeller is registered as a design part and then assigned as an additional part to a centrifugal pump object. After the pump's design status is changed to Planned for Operation or Completed, the pump is created as an equipment object in IFS/Equipment. Each of the attached additional parts is copied to the equipment object in IFS/Equipment as a spare part.
Additional parts may be connected directly to a design object or they can be
added as belongs to design parts for design part structure, and when the
consists of design part is connected to the design object, the additional parts
can be inherited to the design object, if required.
