Part Master#

The Part Master is the central item catalog. Every purchasable, manufacturable, sellable, or trackable item is a row here. Almost every other module either references parts (BOM, PO, SO, INVT) or defines behaviour based on part attributes (serial / lot flags, ABC class, costing method).

Key attributes#

• Identity: part number, revision, description.
• Classification: PART_CLASS (via PartClassHelper) and PART_TYPE (via PartTypeHelper) — drives GL account defaults and reporting.
• Tracking flags: serial-tracked, lot-tracked, consignment-eligible.
• Costing: standard cost, last cost, average cost.
• ABC class: A / B / C — used by cycle count and MRP prioritisation (InvtAbcHelper).
• Buyer / planner assignment (InvtBuyerSetupHelper).
• User-defined fields — arbitrary attributes added per site via UDF.

Common operations#

• Import — bulk load via ImportPartClassTypeInfoHelper and related importers.
• Class change — reclassifying a part cascades into GL defaults and MRP behaviour.
• Deactivation — a part with any open reservation, PO line, SO line, or on-hand cannot be deactivated; the helpers check and reject.
