Understanding Parts Selection from Inventory

You can assign parts that do not appear on a standard parts list, such as when you are creating a work order for an unanticipated emergency repair. If you need a part that is not currently available at the location, you can search for other locations that stock the part and use them to supply parts to the work-order parts list.

When a part is unavailable, you can specify a substitute part. In addition, you can add explanatory text to any part that you include on a work-order parts list.

You can also use Work Order Parts List Revisions to assign parts to a work order for which you do not maintain an inventory master. This is especially useful to add parts for which you rarely have a need for a work order, such as special order parts.
