What is the Parts Management?

With Parts Management, you can centrally record, edit, and track all parts needed for maintenance and repair.
Whether for fault reports, service jobs, or orders – you always have a quick and clear overview of stock levels, storage locations, and availability.


Main functions of the Parts Management

  1. Record and maintain parts

    • Create new parts manually or import them from an external system

    • Store key information such as name, reference number, description, price, minimum quantity, manufacturer, and distributors

  2. Manage stock

    • Maintain the current stock per storage location and keep track of total stock

    • Define minimum stock levels to receive automatic notifications when they are reached or undercut

  3. Organize storage locations

    • Create storage locations as assets and structure them to match your organization

    • Assign parts to storage locations so you always know where each part is stored

  4. Document stock changes

    • Record goods receipts, consumption, or transfers manually, or synchronize them automatically via work orders

  5. Manage manufacturers and suppliers

    • Store the manufacturer of a part as well as multiple distributors

    • Add restock links to quickly trigger reorders


How do I get started with the Parts Management?

  1. Add parts

    • Create your most important parts directly in Parts Management with a name and unique part number

    • Add further details such as description, image, price, and manufacturer

  2. Set up storage locations

    • Create at least one storage location as an asset

    • Decide whether to start with a central warehouse or to represent multiple locations

  3. Enter stock quantities

    • Enter current stock quantities per storage location

    • Set minimum stock levels for automatic alerts


Tips for efficient use

  • Start small: Only add the parts you actually need for maintenance and repair

  • Use minimum stock levels: Get notified in time before a part runs out

  • Keep storage simple: Start with broad storage locations like “Main Warehouse” and expand if needed

  • Ensure data quality: Avoid duplicate or outdated parts – keep your parts catalog clean


Frequently asked questions

Can I import parts from an existing system?

Yes, CSV import is possible, but only with a limited set of fields. We recommend manually creating your most important parts first.

How does the minimum stock alert work?
When the total stock across all storage locations falls below the defined minimum quantity, notifications are sent to the assigned user groups.

Can I store parts in multiple storage locations at the same time?
Yes, each part can be stored in as many storage locations as needed, and the total stock is automatically aggregated.
