Inventory Part Class 

The first major classification is part class. This classification may be used to identify major groups of parts. For example, classes may include specific part genres, such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, connectors, relays, PC boards, LEDs, wire, hardware, etc. Part classes must also be assigned to assemblies and may be defined as Top Assy, Sub-Assy, Spares, etc. 

All item master parts must have a part class assigned to them in manexSQL. If the user wishes to separate Finished Goods and Raw Material Inventory, they must be sure to include a Finished Goods class. The part class can be a maximum of 8 characters, and the part class description can be a maximum of 30 characters.

 
Once a part classification has been established, subgroups may be assigned to each class. The subgroups are known as "part types," and each part type may have a number of different characteristics associated with it.

Quality Spec

Here you may enter a quality specification number (10 characters) that will be associated with each class. This specification number will print on Purchase Orders whenever placed for the part class.
