A part file is a record of all the part numbers or stock-keeping units (SKUs) that a firm relies on to identify the thousands of unique purchased entities within a system. A bill of materials file is used to identify the components and quantities needed to make a finished product, while an engineering requirements file is used to document the specifications and engineering requirements of a product. An open-order and past-due file is used to track pending orders and their status, while a forecasted demand file is used to predict future demand for a product.
