• Sourcing

This section of Aras Product Engineering simplifies sourcing, or part acquisition. The center of this concept is the Manufacturer Part. See the data model below.

Each defined Part can have one or more Manufacturer Parts associated with it. For each Manufacturer Part, there is only one manufacturer who makes it, but there can be many vendors who sell it.

The easiest way to navigate around Sourcing, is the following:

1. Create Manufacturers

2. Create Manufacturer Parts

3. Create Vendors

4. Add Manufacturer Parts to the AML of the corresponding Part.
