Create Parts

This list contains all existing parts in Vehicle Fleet Manager 5.0

This tab displays information about the part currently selected in the parts list.

This tab contains the list of inventory locations where the part currently selected in the parts list can potentially be stored. An inventory location is a physical location in one of your warehouses that can hold a single type of part. For example, bin 2 in row 5 of aisle B in the Phoenix warehouse contains part #ABC123. See this article for details on creating inventory locations.

When creating a part, a generic inventory location named "Unspecified Location" is automatically associated with the created part. This unspecified location can serve as a buffer zone when you receive a part but you do not yet know to which final location it will be sent. It can also be used at any time, in the event that you do not wish to maintain rigorous inventory management via inventory locations. In this case, the Unspecified Location will be used at all times by default.

You can use this tab to create comments about the part selected in the parts list.
