Parts that are of type Sub Assembly are made in-house then later consumed into another production step or finished good.

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.

Hard to calculate?

This is often a hard number to calculate. Going forward DataNinja will track this for you automatically for each run. Why do you need to fill this in with our best guess now? - If you have any inventory on hand at the time of your first physical inventory labeling, we need to make sure it gets a good ballpark valuation when synced to your finance system.
