The ID filed is a simple incremented long integer which creates a flexible solution.
The ID field is a unique identifier.
The ID field is the Primary key in the Parts Backend table.
No Duplicates are allowed in the ID field.
By design user's do not need to create company part numbers before parts can be placed.
Creating company part numbers can be an exercise in futility. New designs often have parts that are evaluated and never used in the final design.
Parts also has a Lifecycle field that includes "Obsolete" and "Deprecated", which allows for identifying these parts in the CAD Library and on the BOM.
Company Part Numbers
Parts has an optional Material Control Number (MCN) field for company part numbers.
MCNs (company part numbers) are created in PLM systems to associate preferred and alternate manufacturer parts for production BOMs.
Typically company part numbers are assigned after a design has been released from engineering to production.
CAD libraries and schematics can be updated with MCNs using the unique ID field.
Parts has options for customizing the MCN field.
