New part numbers are automatically added to TrueAuto during Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processing. However, it is important to add any additional relevant information about the part. Trading Partners do not always send every detail about a part on demand schedules; therefore, you must identify any missing details and set defaults to help you automate paperwork and EDI.

This article will guide you through the steps to add a Trading Partner Part in TrueAuto, ensuring that you can efficiently manage your inventory and maintain smooth operations.

What is the purpose of manually adding a Part Number?

The process of manually adding a Trading Part Number serves the important purpose of meeting users' specific needs and demands by providing a unique identifier for each product or component in TrueAuto. This precise identification facilitates accurate ordering, efficient inventory management, and clear communication between buyers and sellers. By incorporating part numbers, users can easily reference and procure the exact items they require, minimizing errors and ensuring that all parties involved are aligned, thus streamlining operations and enhancing overall efficiency.
