Understanding the Equipment Parts List
You can create an equipment parts list (EPL) that enables you to associate parts that are catalogued (item master) and noncatalogued (no item master) directly with an equipment record. You can define the parts list specifically for an individual piece of equipment.
Catalogued items include any item in the inventory master, such as stocked, nonstocked, and standard parts list numbers.
Noncatalogued items are parts that are unlikely to be purchased during the lifetime of the equipment; therefore, they are not considered to be worth the effort of cataloguing.
When the equipment requires repair or maintenance, you then can use the equipment parts list to create a work order parts list when you create the corrective order.
You can use a standard parts list within the equipment parts list. The standard parts list can be used for all similar pieces of equipment. For example, you might need a gearbox that is standard for most forklifts, as well as parts that are specific to an electric forklift.
The Equipment Parts List table is F13017.
