Creating New Part Numbers

Creating New Part Numbers

To add a new part number to the company software, it is best to make sure you aren't registering a part that's already there. Luckily, Steelhead provides a way to do both of these things at once:

• First, press the Received Orders button on the homescreen
• Then select the one you are using, or if needed make another
• Then press the button that says "Add Parts (Table)" or "Save + Add Parts"
  • Both of these buttons lead to the same screen
• Then on the Add Parts screen, type the name of the part needed into the entry field
  • This will search for matching part numbers, and you can select the part if it's there
  • Otherwise, read the rest of this page for help on how to make new Part Numbers

New Part Number Menu

In the menu for creating new Part Numbers, you will find several dropdown menus and entry fields for specifying information about the part you want to create. The page is divided into three columns, the first for part data, the second for process data, and the third for measurement data. All three will be explained here in detail.

Part Data Column

This is the basic name for your new part. You can enter whatever the part is most often called.

This is the buyer of the part. Similar to creating new parts you can search for a customer and will be shown an option to register a new one if no matches are found.

This is the personalized collection that the part number will belong to.
