Overview
Enable full lifecycle tracking of parts, including condition (new vs used), serial numbers, and rebuild workflows to support cost analysis and traceability.
Current Limitations
• No differentiation between new and used parts
• No serial number tracking
• Rebuilt parts cannot be tracked or analyzed
• Parts cannot function as trackable entities like assets
General Example
A rebuilt component is returned to inventory, but there is no way to track its history, usage, or cost savings compared to a new replacement.
Requested Enhancements
- Add condition tracking:
- Prompt for condition during inventory addition if there is used in stock
- Enable serial number tracking:
- Manual entry
- Auto-generation when needed
- Allow work orders to be created directly from parts:
- Track rebuild and repair activity
- Capture and compare:
- Rebuild cost vs replacement cost
- Parts Used
Business Value
• Provides full part traceability
• Enables cost-saving analysis
• Supports refurbishment workflows
• Improves inventory accuracy and planning
