AUTOMATIC KIT COMPONENT DISPLAY

Kits and assemblies are native in Version 5.0. While the EzParts Electronic Parts Catalog Software has always had the ability to handle kits and sub-assemblies; this functionality is taken to a new level with our "nesting" capability. With nesting, kits and assemblies are more easily identified on the bill of material listing.

Optionally kit "components" and assembly "components" can be automatically appended into the Bill of Material at run time when only the "kit part number" or "component part number" appears in the Bill of Material. This saves you costly edits and updates.

Kits and assembly components are automatically "indented" on the bill of material. Clicking the master part number for the kit or assembly will hide/show the components for that assembly. Manufacturers and users can determine the "default display mode" for kits and assemblies components as initially expanded or not

LIKE PARTS

Automated "like", "similar" and "re-manufactured" parts inclusion options provide ability to append similar, related and re-manufactured parts to the Bill of Material where applicable without editing or updating you BOM.
