Parts

Parts in LilyPad WMS are the same part records in your system. Any changes users make here are saved right away.

The Parts module is where users will search for parts, create new parts, and manage a part’s inventory.

The Parts module can be found under the Inventory group on the LilyPad home screen.

• A part is anything counted in inventory, whether it is sold or only used internally. A product is anything sold to customers. Every product is tied to a part.

Creating a Part

To add a new part, open Parts and select New part. Fill in the following:

• Part number: required. This must be unique.
• Description: required.
• Part type: set to Inventory by default.
• Unit of measure: set to ea – Each by default.
• Active: checked by default.

Under Identifiers, users can also add a UPC, revision and ABC code. Adding a UPC lets the part be scanned anywhere in LilyPad.

Under Sellable product, check Also create a sellable product to create a matching product at the same time. Enter the price and an optional SKU. Leave this unchecked if the part is only used internally.

Under Notes, users can add details or an alert note.

When finished, select Create part & product (or Create part if no product is being made).

• Accounts, tracking, dimensions and a picture can be added after the part is created, from its detail page.

Finding a Part and Managing Inventory

When users open the module, they will see a list of their parts. Users can find a part by typing its part number or scanning its barcode.

Selecting a part opens its detail page. Here users will see its details, total on hand, and how much is at each location.

From the buttons at the top, users can:

• Add: add stock without an order. Choose or scan the location, enter the quantity, and select Add.
• Move: choose where the stock is coming from, choose or scan the new location, enter the quantity, and select Move.
• Count: choose or scan the location, enter the physical count, and save it. On hand updates to match.
• Scrap: remove damaged or lost stock. Choose the location, enter the quantity, and select Scrap.

If the part is tracked, users will also choose the lot or serial number. Totals update right away.

• To count everything in one location at once, see the Cycle Counts page.

Scanning

• Scan a part’s barcode in the search box to open it.
• Scan a location barcode when adding, moving, counting or scrapping stock.
• Add a UPC when creating a part so it can be scanned on orders, picks and receipts.
