Part Codes can be used to indicate when parts are obsolete, unavailable, or should be utilized as a reference. When utilizing Part Codes, there are a few things you should know:
- Part Codes can be used to replace a part number during the publishing process and still maintain a unique part name and its additional metadata.
- Part Codes are non-orderable by default
- Part Codes can be created to describe types of non-orderable parts such as obsolete, part number not available, reference, etc.)
- Part Codes must be configured before any interactive part pages containing them are published, otherwise the part will be orderable and may impact customers with ERP integrations
