The Parts Tool allows you to add/edit parts within the part library. Every part has a particular formula associated with it defining how the costs are calculated. The parts may also be accompanied by proposal texts for implementation in one of the following three types of reports: Preliminary Proposal, Formal Proposal, or Subcontractor Bid Request. The parts stored in the library may have been included in the application with your purchase, imported via the Part Import Wizard from a preformatted personal or supplier catalog, or entered manually.
You may edit general part information directly from the main screen, or open up parts individually to access and edit more detail.
