The Parts Master File > Creating a New Part

Creating a New Part

Why:

Usually new parts are created by the Volvo parts applications that interface into Fusion. However, locally supplied parts can be created manually in Fusion.

 

Where:

From the Part View, select File > New. Alternatively click the New button . First the Create Part window will be displayed, second, the Select Franchise for Part Number window will be displayed.

 

How:

In the first Create Part window, enter the new part number and click OK.

In the Franchise window, select the appropriate prefix code and click OK.

This will display a Part Maintenance window with tabs for Sale, Stock, Purchases, Associated Parts, Replacements, Pricing and Overrides.

Certain fields will be updated automatically. The default values are preset within the parameter file. Input the remainder of the information for the new part as required, then click OK to add the record to the Parts Master File.

Depending on a parameter setting, if a part is created in one branch it might be updated into the Parts Master Files of all the other branches within the company.
