Defining part condition templates

Define part condition templates when your organization reuses parts and needs to track the parts by their condition. Part condition templates define which conditions you can use to track parts. You can track parts throughout their life cycle. For example, the part condition can be new, used, rebuilt less than five times, or rebuilt more than five times.

When creating parts, Tracked by Condition must be selected. When a part is tracked by condition, the system creates a child record for each condition that is added to the part condition template.

To define part condition templates:

  1. Select Materials > Setup > Part Condition Templates.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Specify this information:
    Part Condition Template
    Specify a unique code identifying the part condition template, and then enter a description in the adjacent field.
    Organization
    Specify the organization of the part condition template.
    Suffix Separator
    Specify a unique suffix separator code for the part condition template. The suffix separator is used in the child part code. For example, if the parent part code is TIMBEAR12, the suffix separator is a dash (-), and the condition suffix code is an A, the child part code would be TIMBEAR12-A.
    Out of Service
    Select this checkbox if you do not want the part condition template to appear in the lookups.
  4. Click Save Record.
