AML is a list of approved manufacturers who produce the associated Part. Innovator manages this list of Manufacturer Parts, created through the steps outlined in Sourcing. Here, we link those parts to our parent part.

To create an AML:

  1. Edit the part to which you would like to add the AML.

  2. Click on the AML tab.

  3. Click on the New Item icon , next to the Pick Related drop down box. (Here you only have one choice - Pick Related. To learn how to create manufacturers, go to Sourcing.)

  4. A selection dialog appears, listing all the available manufacturer parts.

  5. Select the required parts, and click on the green check mark .

  6. The Sequence number is the preference of one manufacturer over another. The lowest is the most preferable.

  7. Save, Unlock, and Close the parent Part.
