Create Engineering Part

This process is to creating a new engineering part. 

Description of process

Before creating an Engineering Part these prerequisits should be fullfilled,

  1. Define the standard name for the part in the Part Basic Data/Standard Names page. 
  2. Define a class in the PDM/Basic Data/Classes page.
  3. Define a main group in Part Basic Data/Main Group page.

In the Engineering Parts or Part/Engineering/General pages:

  1. Create a new engineering part record by clicking the '+' button, or using the command Create New Part. 

Note: You can also create a new engineering part by using the Create New Engineering Part assistant. Creating a new part in any of the above pages or in the assistant also creates a new Part Catalog record for the part.

  1. Enter the mandatory fields, i.e., standard name, description, and ISO unit. This requires that only the first prerequisite has been done. If you leave the part number field blank, the system will generate one for you. If you do not clear the Current Revision field, you also will generate the first engineering part revision. You also can fill in more fields, but if you do, you must first complete the second and third prerequisites.
  2. Enable serial tracking for the part by enabling the After Delivery Serial Tracking option on the Part Catalog record for the part. You also can enable the Inventory Serial Tracking option if you want full serial tracking through the inventory.
