The Parts/Products collections define the physical items that your organization designs, produces and services.
BOM type codes: This collection classifies production usage, and typically isn't modified.
Handling/storage categories: You can classify the safety or environmental hazards of parts, or identify special handling requirements.
Make/buy categories: This collection specifies how the item is acquired, and typically isn't modified.
Material categories: Broadly classifies the materials that go into the parts that you buy and build.
Material constraints: You can define the handling, storage, recovery, or legally-imposed constraints on the chemicals and substances that are used in your parts.
Materials: This collection is primarily intended for WEEE/RoHS and other environmental materials reporting. However, you can add whatever materials you need.
Recovery methods: Defines part end-of-life dispositioning goals. Although the default members of this collection are reasonably comprehensive, any industry-specific recovery and disposal methods can be added. You may also choose to make some members inactive if, for example, you produce items that aren't capable of disassembly.
Part types: Classifies parts according to their application, and defines their rules and custom properties.
