Spare Parts Requirement– An overview

This page allows you to specify the spare parts required for the completion of a task. Spare parts can be either standard or non-standard. Standard spare parts are defined in Inventory and are identified by an item number. Non-standard spare parts are those that are not defined in Inventory and can be directly specified for the task by entering the spare part description, unit of measurement, quantity and cost.

You can specify spare parts to the task selected in the previous page. You can also directly enter a task, other than the task selected in the previous page, and specify spare parts to it.

You can enter the item number of the standard spare part, its variant and the number of spares required for the completion of the task. You can use the help facility to search for the spare part to be specified to the task. You can also modify or delete the spare parts that are already defined for the task.

Note: An item is uniquely identified by the combination of the item number and the variant.

You can enter the details of the non-standard spare parts by entering the description, unit of measurement, the number of spares required and the estimated unit cost of the spare part.

You can modify all the details of the non-standard spare parts and the quantity of the standard spare parts.
