Select Make or Buy to indicate whether you manufacture this part (Make) or purchase it (Buy). |
Active |
Select this check box to identify this provisional part as active. You can use an active provisional part in Requests for Quotes (RFQs), vendor quotes, and bills of material. If you leave this check box clear, this part is considered inactive, indicating that it is not being used. |

As Required |
Select this check box to indicate that the quantity per assembly must be "as required," because it is not practical to specify the exact quantity for this part.
