Files

The Files tab for parts enables you to associate any number of files with a particular part.

Tip: You can use the filter to restrict the information that displays to a specific part ID, part suffix, inventory month, keyword, stock status, product category, or part classification, among others. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a cross-reference part ID that cannot be found, the applicable part ID displays.

Detail View Header

The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.

Part ID

Identifier of the part currently selected in the grid or that you are defining.

Note: If there is a check in the Enable automatic part numbering field on the Setup -> Parts Items -> Product Categories screen, the part ID is assigned automatically. Its characteristics, if any, are based on information entered in other fields on that screen.

The part ID may only consist of valid bar code characters. This field has a zoom button to the Parts Items -> Cross-references screen, which defines cross-references of part IDs. It also has a list box. The part description displays to the right of the ID. This field is required.

The combination of this part ID and the part suffix must be unique for each part.

To delete a part and all its data from inventory, refer to how to delete a part from inventory.
To delete a part from a specific location, use the Basic Info tab on the Parts Items -> Location Information screen.

Note: You cannot delete a record that has part quantities to be reconciled.
