Part Number

Required - Alpha Numeric

Anything uniquely tracked in inventory needs it's own part number. Add your existing part numbers to this column of the upload sheet. If you will be creating new part numbers, keep them simple. Smart part numbers are not recommended. Generally, a part number should be created for WIP/Sub Assemblies if they are not always consumed the same day they are produced.
