Adding something like non-mandatory Secondary or Auxiliary Part Number into Part definition form.

[czkapitan2]

We use inventree as a system to keep track of the inventory of our simulator spare parts. All our spare parts have 2 or more P/Ns. One P/N is assigned by the manufacturer of the entire technological device and the other is assigned by the manufacturer of the part (vendor). When creating parts, we have selected one PN as primary and use it in the IPN field. For each PART I have created a template and a parameter "Vendor PN" to keep track of all rest the PNs . Unfortunately the Vendor PN parameter is not searched when searching . I am convinced that this problem must have multiple users . I suggest the following improvement :
option 1 - add one optional field to the PART form , called e.g. Secondary / Aux /Vendor PN , which will be traversed when searching
option 2 - traverse the added additional text parameters ( if any ) when searching
thx for reaction ,
Pavel

OK , thank you very much Mathias - it seems I haven't fully explored the possibilities of Inventree - so far we have only had simple excel sheets for stock and the records were not that sophisticated so we have to add some parts information manually , but yes - this is the way to go and I apologise for wasting your time .
