Parts Department Hierarchy

Parts Department Hierarchy​

Department- Each part added to a Work Order must have a department. The order in which the system will look for the department is shown below highest to lowest. This is also known as a Hierarchy:

  1. A Parts Dept defined on the Opcode or Opcode Maintenance will take precedence over all. If there is no Dept defined on the Opcode then:
  2. The Departments defined on a Work Order Category Code added to a Work Order will take precedence, except if the Part is a Fuel Part, then the department defined on the Fuel Part will take precedence (Fuel will have hierarchy of 1, 4, 5 - skip 2 and 3)
  3. If there is no Work Order Category Code then the department defined on the Technician File will take precedence, except if the Part is a Fuel Part, then the department defined on the Fuel Part will take precedence (Fuel will have hierarchy of 1, 4, 5 - skip 2 and 3)
  4. If there is No Department defined to the Technician File then the department defined on the Inventory Part will take precedence.
  5. If there is No Department defined on the Part then The Inventory Parameters default parts department will be used.

NOTE: If there is a G/L account defined to a part in Inventory Maintenance Miscellaneous Tab - THIS OVERRIDES EVERYTHING.
