Link Part Revision and Manufacturer Part

Explanation

Use this activity to link a part revision to one or more manufacturer part numbers. 

Note: Once a link is established, you cannot update the record for the link. You can only delete existing link records and insert new link records. The system will automatically delete link records if the part revision is deleted. 

Prerequisites

The manufacturer must be registered as a manufacturer in the IFS/Enterprise, Manufacturer/General tab. Also, a manufacturer part number must exist for the part in the IFS/Part, Part/Part Manufacturer tab.

System Effects

The part revision will be cross-referenced to one or more manufacturer part numbers.
