Creating part hierarchy codes

Create part hierarchy codes to create a coding structure that enables you to further define parts by classifying them into specific levels.

Before creating part hierarchy codes, you must first define the code levels for the Part code hierarchy entity (CLVL) on the Classes form. See Defining classes.

After defining the code levels for the Part code hierarchy entity, you can then create part hierarchy codes to define a structured hierarchy between part code combinations. You can define a maximum of eight coding levels for parts.

To create part hierarchy codes:

  1. Open the Part Hierarchy Codes form.
  2. Click Add Hiearchy Code.
  3. Description—Enter a description of the part code hierarchy.
  4. Enter the different levels of the part code hierarchy beginning with [Level 1] through [Level 8].
    Note: You cannot enter a code for a level until you have entered a code for the previous level, e.g., you cannot enter a code for [Level 2] if you have not defined [Level 1].

    The system displays the number of code structure levels based on the number of classes you have defined for the Part code hierarchy entity. For example, if you have defined four code levels for the Part code hierarchy entity on the Classes form, the system displays four levels for the code hierarchy [Level 1] – [Level 4].
