What about the Source parameter? OOTB it has "Make", Buy", or "Buy - Single Source":
What does your business do differently if you indicate Purchased vs. Make? All the time we run into starting one way, then having some of the other (e.g. make a certain assembly in-house, then start buying it assembled but not all, then eventually purchase all assembled). Hopefully can set up Part attributes / other info in such a way that it's flexible. Have to focus on what the business needs from the Windchill info.
I learned later that my organisation put a rule that if the Part Type is Commercial Part then it is a purchased part. Thanks Randy & Mike for your valuable insights. Thanks, Shanmugam
