Dear Community!
I would greatly appreciate your expert insights and experiences regarding part number structures in IFS.
We are currently analyzing different approaches to part number management, specifically comparing:
Using identical part numbers across the entire process (Engineering → Production → Sales)
Using separate part numbers for:
Internal use (Engineering Part/Inventory Part)
External use (Sales Part)
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on:
What approach do you use and why?
What are the main advantages and challenges you've encountered?
How does your chosen approach impact the entire process.
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience and knowledge!
Best regards,
Ada
