Using partmgr to Update or Get a New Part Number
3-8: Using and Getting Part Numbers
Updating Part Numbers
All common part numbers contain what is known as an “embedded rev” number,
which is the major rev portion, e.g., the “-
A
” in the part number, for example:
300123-A
To update or rev a part number:
1.
Run /bay
dir
/dra/utils/docmgr or bnw_docmgr and select the option:
1). Run PARTMGR (Part Management)
2.
Choose the following option when the Part Manager appears:
3). Add/update an embedded rev to an existing part number
3.
List the projects and select yours by number, or type in your project
name and follow the prompts to confirm that you selected the correct
project.
4.
Enter the part number of the part you want to update.
The script asks for the “root” of the number, but it will accept a full part
number. For example, you can enter 300123-A or 300123 (which is the root
number for 300123-A).
Note:
For legacy part numbers, the root and the embedded rev number may be harder to
determine. See Table E-2,
Other Numbering Formats
on page E-4. If your part number is, for
example, 120-021-1.0-E, the root is 120-021, and you will have to specify the actual next
embedded rev, -1.1 or -F.
5.
Confirm that the Part Manager has found the right part in the part log or
the SAP download file.
Note:
The Part Manager displays only the class code information, e.g., “PRO - Procedures and
Instructions,” so it’s not real helpful.
6.
Modify the description of the part if you wish.
The description can have as many as 40 characters, and should follow the
format shown in the example prompt, e.g., for
|........10........20........30........40|
