Configuring Subtypes of a Part Request Object
The PR administrator can configure subtypes of the part request object type in order to modify the part request creation process. For example, this can be useful if you want to define different processes for introducing mechanical and electrical parts.
For more information on creating subtypes, refer to the documentation on Windchill administration.
