This section will discuss the Manage Parts options including:
Copy
Transfer
Renumber
Renumbering a part is sometimes necessary when manufacturers change a part number or when vendors change to a new distributor. When a part is renumbered, existing requisitions and history records are updated to reflect the new part number. If you end up reusing the old part number for a different part, you may want to delete the transaction history for the original part beforehand so it's not mistaken as history for the new part.
Parts can be renumbered using the “Manage Part” link on the primary info banner in RTA Web:
Click “Manage Part” from the Primary Info Banner in the part file
A side panel will open up
Change the part number in the “Renumber To” field
If the Vendor Part Number also needs to be renumbered to match the entry, check the box to do so
Click Save at the bottom of the side panel
