I’m curious what the Parent Part Field is used for on the Material Tab in a Shop Order?  I understand what parent means, but I’m curious who uses that field and what it’s used for, or tied to?  We don’t use IFS as our engineering tool, is that what it would pull from, or?

 

Thank you!

It is used only for multilevel repair shop orders. I.e. when you create a repair shop order for a serial/lot tracked part you already have manufactured in IFS before so it has an as-built structure. Then you can select to add and remove components in any level of the as-build structure on the shop order. When a new component is added, the Parent Part field in the material tab defines the position it will be added to the the new revision of the as-built structure created once you receive the part
