Item: Part
The part class offers
- Part data, including user-defined custom attributes
- Single-level parts list and multi-level bills of materials (which can also include relevant document records, such as part requirements, assembly instructions, and inspection procedures)
- Approved manufacturers for purchased parts
- Materials content and end-of-life recycling data
A part has procurement properties, such as costs, unit of measure, lead time, and a barcode value or global trade number.
A part's handling/storage property identifies any health or safety hazard, or special handling or storage considerations, for the part.
In compliance with emerging environmental regulations, you can specify the method by which the part can be reclaimed or recycled. Many parts can be refurbished or disassembled, while others can be broken down for their basic chemicals.
The Materials list enumerates the substances that are used to make the part. Each line item consists of
- a substance name or identification
- the quantity and its unit of measure,
- a calculated proportion (based on the part mass), and
- the location or application of hazardous or controlled material.
The constituents of a part, as well as a complete product, can be summed and reported.
