Alternate Part Numbers

HydraLIST has the capability to store an Alternate Part Numbers for each HydraLIST part, along with our standard part number. Why is this important? Because many fab shops, either independent or sprinkler company based, already have their own part numbering scheme. This ability allows our customers to continue to use their own part numbers when referencing our parts, assemblies, pipe types, hangers, etc. So, they don’t need to start from scratch and build everything over again.

In the HydraLIST database (accessed via the blue boxed button), the input screens have a column for such Alternate Part Numbers:

The second column shows our PN while the blue boxed column shows the Alt PN. Just enter in each alternate part number and save the data and you are done.

When it is time to print out a stock list, there is an option to print the Alternate Part Number on the General Setup tab:

Please check out the HydraLIST manual for complete details!
