We typically recommend keeping the "Require Unique..." settings enabled. This will require new parts to have unique part names and numbers respectively to avoid duplicate parts.

"Require Unique Part Names" will require that every part has a unique name.

If this setting is enabled, a user will receive an error message if they attempt to create a part with the same name as an existing part in your inventory.

"Require Unique Part Numbers" will require that every part has a unique number.

If this setting is enabled, a user will receive an error message if they attempt to enter a value in the "Part Number" field that is identical to an existing value on another part.

(Note: you cannot enable "Require Unique..." settings if duplicate part names or numbers already exist in your inventory. Make sure to check for duplicates and change those values before enabling these settings.)

You can auto-populate custom field values in the description field of your purchase orders. This ensures pertinent information is visible in your PO without having to manually add it from the part card.

In the new window, select which custom field values you want to include in the description field. You can select multiple custom fields.

The example section shows you what the field will look like in your POs.

Once set, the value the selected field(s) will display in the description field of your POs at this location.

The "Parts Consumption" dropdown determines the order that parts are consumed.

From the dropdown, choose one of the following options:

This can impact the overall value of your inventory. For example, if you purchased less expensive parts more recently and used LIFO, your inventory value would be more expensive than if you used FIFO -- because you would be consuming the cheaper parts first.

You can require users to enter a reason why they're manually changing part quantities.

In the dropdown under "Require a reason for manually lowering part quantities," select "Enabled."

When a user attempts to change the value of a part quantity, they will now be required to submit the reason.

Enterprise customers can use Unit of Measure to seamlessly manage stocking parts and buying them in bulk.
