Create Manufacturer Part Using Save As

You can use the Save As feature to create a new manufacturer part from the Actions menu on the Manufacturer Part page.

Here's what you can copy over from an existing manufacturer part:

• Attachments
• Additional Information such as descriptive flexfields
• Security Settings

Note:

• You must have the Manage Manufacturer Part privilege to use the Save As feature; if you don’t, the Save As option is grayed out.
• If the source manufacturer part is private, then you must have a Maintain grant privilege to use the Save As feature.

Created From

You can track which manufacturer part was used to create a new part using the Created From field on the General Information page. This field displays a link to the source manufacturer part from which the current manufacturer part was created. You can click this link to navigate to the original part and view the details.

• The Created From field displays the source manufacturer part name.
• In the Save As dialog box, if you change the manufacturer from the source manufacturer, the Save As dialog box displays the grayed out Security check box. The manufacturer part instance grants aren’t copied to the new manufacturer part.

Note: The Supplier Portal doesn’t provide the Save As option or display the Created From field on manufacturer parts.
