Managing EM Equipment Parts
EM Equipment Parts associates common parts (and fluids with quantities) to an equipment record so work-order and cost-adjustment part lookups are faster. Part # ≤30; description ≤60; memo ≤30; quantity up to 3 decimals; U/M from HQ Units of Measure.
Before you start
- Equipment exists in EM Equipment.
- Know whether EM Company Parameters Validate Parts is on.
- When Validate Parts is on, parts must exist in HQ Material before Cost Adjustments or Work Order Edit will accept them.
Steps
- Open EM Equipment Parts.
- Select the equipment.
- Enter Part # (≤30), description (≤60), and optional memo (≤30).
- Enter quantity (up to 3 decimal places) and U/M from HQ UOM. Use the same pattern for fluids when tracking fluid fills or capacities on the equipment.
- Use F4/lookups that list HQ, equipment, or vendor materials when available.
- Save.
Validate Parts (Company Parameters)
- On EM Company Parameters > Parts:
- Validate Parts on: EM Cost Adjustments and EM Work Order Edit require a valid HQ Material association for the part.
- Validate Parts off: any part code is allowed.
- A part number that only looks like an HQ material code is not valid automatically. The part must exist in HQ Material when validation is on.
Notes
- Equipment parts lists speed WO entry; they do not replace HQ Material when validation is enabled.
