Parts

Lucity's Parts module tracks inventories, order information, transaction history, costs and current status of each Part listed. Parts can be linked to Work Flow Setup Materials and Fluids. Then, when Materials/Fluids are used on Work Orders, these items are automatically deducted from the Parts Inventory, keeping the inventory up-to-date.

Before adding a new Parts record, you must have at least one Warehouse record set up in the Part Warehouses module.
