Machine Product Parts
The product on the machine itself acts as the Module, that is, it is the product that stands for a machine.
Some machines can have parts as well.
All parts used by Machines will show in the parts tab on the machine.
If the part on the machine has an 'expected yield' (life), then the system will show the expected yield on the tab 'Part' on that machine.
When the machine part is replaced, the field of 'actual yield' (life) will update on the part.
In order for the field 'actual yield' to be updated you need to have a part on the Machine Meter Supply.
Shipments of any parts that are parts of a product that the machine is based on, that part may have an expected yield set up. When you ship the part again, the system will assume the first instance of that part in the machine has been replaced by the one on the next shipment. At that point the system will set 'actual end date' on the first shipment on that machine part.
Product Parts
The parts for the machine product are on the product parts tab.
The field 'expected meter count' on the product part is manually entered onto the Product part (for the product that stands for that machine) or it can be imported from a spreadsheet.
