Enter Part Data

Explanation

This activity is used when you want to create a siteless part, i.e., start to enter a part that, later on, will be registered as an inventory, purchase, or sales part. This is also a way to reserve a part number for a part that will be used in the future.

Depending on how the part will be used, you might have to perform one or more of the optional steps in the Procedure section. You can perform most of these steps later , e.g., when the part is entered as an inventory part, but they should be performed before the part is used.
