Explanation

Use this activity to copy part information from one part to another.

This may be useful for copying part information in many instances. For example, you might be sourcing parts with similar specifications produced by several different manufacturers.

Procedure

  1. Open the Copy Part dialog box.
  2. Enter the number of the original part in the From Part No field.
  3. Enter the site of the original part in the From Site field. (The default site for the user will be displayed initially)
  4. In the To Part No field, enter the number of the part onto which you are copying data. This may be a new or existing part. In the adjacent field, enter an appropriate description for the copied part.
  5. Enter the site of the copied part in the To Site field. (The default site for the user will be displayed initially). Use wild cards to copy the same part to many sites.

Information that can be copied from the From Part to the To Part, is listed out under the Part Information To Copy column. By default, the check boxes in the Enabled column would be selected for most of the part information.

Note:

  1. Select the Enabled check boxes against the part information that you want to copy. Make sure you clear the Enabled check boxes against part information that you do not want to copy, but have been selected by default.
  2. If you want the selected information to be copied as a background job, select the Background Job check box.
  3. There are certain features that ensure the effectiveness of the copying process:
  1. Click OK to copy the selected part information.
  2. A message will appear, asking whether you want to make another copy. Click Yes to go back to the Copy Part dialog box with your most recent check box settings. Click No to complete copying and close the dialog box.
