Managing master data is especially important for supplier relationships and data exchanges. Parts management facilitates:
- Storage of the most important part-specific and supplier-specific information and combination of this information with the project currently being edited
- Management of multilingual information and different currencies
- Conversion of prices between currencies when needed
- Import and export of data, such as parts data from particular manufacturers (e.g. from the Festo product catalog)
The respective data sources are stored in a Microsoft Access database or in an SQL Server database and the currently selected database is displayed in the title bar of the Parts management dialog.
