Part Header

This is a general description of the Primary Part and its revision status. 

Reusable part specifications can be stored as Templates to reduce repeated entry of similar or identical specifications. Get Template button presents options to:
View and edit an existing Template.
Save a Template specification as a new Part Specification.
Save the currently displayed part as a new Template.

Engineering Change button will duplicate the part and assign the next revision level. Specification changes can now be made to the new part record and recorded in the Rev. Change Description field. Previous revision is retained as an obsolete part. This feature is useful for recording both customer revisions and internal manufacturing revisions.

Unauthorized and unintended changes can be prevented by locking the record. Lock is achieved by the entry of two signatures.  

Purchased checkbox designates Parts that are to be purchased and prompts for a supplier. Dockets entered  against a purchased part will automatically write a purchase requisition.

Sub Assemblies are listed in the list at the bottom of the window.  Double click will display the Sub Assembly in its own window.
