Any user who is assigned a role with appropriate permissions can create a new part record.
There are two methods for creating a new part record.
On the Item Explorer's New tab, scroll through the list of available part types. Click on the appropriate row to create a new part record of the specified type.
From the Item menu, select the Create New Part line. (Or, press F10 on your keyboard.) A wizard will open, and walk you through the steps necessary to create the basic attributes for your new part record.
A home part is defined and controlled by your organization: you specify the part number, the item description, the technical specifications, when it's released and when it becomes obsolete. A partner part is where these elements are controlled by another organization, and your organization purchases that item using its number, item description, specifications and attributes.
When the new part record window opens, fill out the necessary information as outlined in the help topic "Filling in the new part".
