Bulk Creating Parts from a Request¶

This feature allows user to bulk create parts from a customer's request, also this option is best if one has less than a 100 parts to create.

Step 1¶

Go to Requests page

Step 2¶

Click on a specific customer's name in the request page and click on Import Parts

Note: If all the parts in the request have been identified, the Import Parts button does not show up.

Step 3¶

Fill out these information in order to bulk create parts

Part Number
The field needs to be edited only if the part number is different from that of the requested part number

Description
The field needs to be edited only if the description is different from that of the given description

Off-The-Shelf or Custom made
The OTS/BTS selection is mandatory. Indicate whether the part is an Off-the-Shelf (OTS) or Build to Specification (BTS) part. BTS parts are also known as custom parts. Never mark an OTS part as BTS or vice versa, as this can not be changed once saved and the part would need to be deleted and then recreated. If you specify the part as BTS, GDX will enforce a sharing policy allowing you to share the part information with one customer (i.e. the one customer specifying this part).

Populate the total weight (per piece) of the part

Specify the Units of measurement used for the weight value.
