Part details
Selecting a row in the inventory list opens the part in a full-screen dialog. Everything Partix knows about that part sits here, across eight tabs.
The toolbar
Across the top: the part number, the current stock figure, and the revision picker.
The picker lists every revision of the part, ordered numerically where the revisions are numbers and alphabetically where they are letters. Changing it reloads the whole dialog for that revision, because stock, locations, lots and serial numbers all belong to a revision rather than to the part.
Revision matters more than it looks
If a figure seems wrong, check which revision you are on before anything else. Ten
units on REVA and none on REVB is two correct answers to two different questions.
The eight tabs
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Product Attribute | Manufacturer data: description, datasheet, package, specifications |
| PLM | The lifecycle timeline, showing what has happened to this part |
| Location | Where the stock sits, and the actions that move it |
| Purchases | What you have bought, from whom, and at what price |
| Serial Number | Individual units, for serialised parts |
| Costing | What the part costs you |
| Where Used | Which products and assemblies call for it |
| Settings | How this part behaves, including tracking options |
The dialog opens on Product Attribute. Tabs load when you open them, so moving between parts stays quick.
