Part Number Creation Process

Creating Part Numbers is a very detailed task the requires the input from various departments such as Inventory, Finance, Engineering and Reliability. Before a Part Number can be created in the system, the Part Number Categories must be defined via the P/N Category Transaction Code. Once these Categories have been defined, individuals can begin the Part Number Creation process. Aside from the P/N Category Transaction Code, the individual Part Number Configuration takes place in the P/N Master of the Settings module. The P/N Master is used to create, configure and store all inventory parts that will be used within the system for an airline, MRO or both. Once these parts have been created in the P/N Master, transactions can be performed for these parts throughout the entire system.

The Part Number Creation process is designed to allow users to visualize the entire procedure for creating a Part Number.
