Parts

Use the Parts module to register and manage parts you purchase, use, produce, or sell on a regular basis. The term "part" is a general term that can refer to goods, services, or other items.

The following part types are available in Isah:

• Purchase part
• Production part
• Costs
• Service
• Functional BOM

You can keep stock of purchase parts and production parts. Production parts and functional BOMs can be added complete with a product calculation. In addition, you can add basic data, including dimensions, warehouse location, and purchase and sales prices.

Parts can be used in different ways:

• As part of a semi-finished product or finished product (purchase parts, production parts, and functional BOMs)
• As a product that is offered or sold based on an offer or order (purchase parts or production parts)
• As an item that is charged on an offer or order (costs and services)

General and product-specific calculations

To keep the data in the Parts module manageable, some companies do not add any parts they produce or purchase just once or only occasionally. They use dummy parts for such parts instead. Dummy parts are parts that may refer to product X on one occasion, and to product Y on another. It is only in the production modules that a (customer-specific) calculation is added for these parts.

Other companies deliberately choose to register also one-off products under their own part code and with their own calculation in the Parts module. Those companies are mostly companies in which part traceability is key.
