Part codes are used to classify parts.
The principle is that different classifications are usually most convenient if you use the part number or name to classify them, as these fields must always be updated for a part. However, if these terms are not sufficient to fill your classification needs, you can use part codes. Part codes are included in most standard lists in the system, both as classification and selection alternatives.
The part code table with codes and names is updated in Part Codes in the Global Settings module. If you enter a part code that is not included in this table, the system will display a control question asking whether you want to create a new part code.
