Spares Records

A Spares record stores data related to the spare part that you want to analyze. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Spare family and appear on the Spare datasheet by default.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Current Holding Level	Number	The actual number of spare parts that you are currently storing.	The current holding level must be greater than or equal to the minimum inventory level but less than or equal to the maximum inventory level. If you enter a value in the Current Holding Level box that is less than the value in the Minimum Holding Level box or greater than the value in the Minimum Holding Level box, an error message appears and the value in the Current Holding Level box reverts back to the original value
EAM Stock Number	Number	The unique value associated with a Spare in the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system of the user that is used to identify a spare part.	A user can query GE Digital APM using an EAM Stock Number to determine the optimum holding value for a given spare part. This information can then be shared with the department of the organization that is responsible for procuring the spare part.
Expedited Cost($)	Number	The cost associated with placing a rush order for the spare part.	The expedited cost must be greater than the normal cost. If you enter a value in the Expedited Cost ($) box that is less than the value in the Normal Cost ($) box, an error message will appear, and the value in the Expedited Cost ($) box will revert back to the value that existed before you modified it.
Expedited Order Time	Number	The amount of time it will take to place a rush order for the part and receive it at the location where it is stored on-site (i.e., warehouse).	The list to the right of the Expedited Order Time box lets you define the unit of measure for the specified period of time. The expedited order time must be less than the normal order time.
Holding Cost Rate($)	Number	The cost of storing the spare part for the amount of time selected in the Per list.	The list to the right of the Holding Cost Rate($) box lets you define the unit of measure that applies to the specified cost for storing a spate part.
Maximum Holding Level	Number	The maximum number of spare parts that you want to analyze using the Spares Analysis.	The maximum inventory level must be greater than the minimum inventory level. If you enter a value in the Maximum Holding Level box that is less than the value in the Minimum Holding Level box, an error message will appear, and the value in the Maximum Holding Level box will revert back to the value that existed before you modified it.
Minimum Holding Level	Number	The minimum number of spare parts that you want to analyze using the Spares Analysis.	The minimum holding level must be less than or equal to the maximum holding level. If you enter a value in the Minimum Holding Level box that is greater than the value in the Maximum Holding Level box, the Maximum Holding Level box will be updated automatically with the value in the Minimum Holding Level box. For example, if the Maximum Holding Level box contains the value 3 and you enter 4 in the Minimum Holding Level box, the value in the Maximum Holding Level box will be set automatically to 4.
Normal Cost ($)	Number	The cost associated with a standard (i.e., not expedited) order for the spare part. The normal cost must be less than or equal to the expedited cost.	If you enter a value in the Normal Cost ($) box that is greater than the value in the Expedited Cost ($) box, the Expedited Cost ($) box will be updated automatically with the value in the Normal Cost ($) box. For example, if the Expedited Cost ($) box contains the value 1000 and you enter 1500 in the Normal Cost ($) box, the value in the Expedited Cost ($) box will be set automatically to 1500.
Normal Order Time	Number	The amount of time that it takes to order the spare part from the manufacturer and receive it at the location where it is stored on-site (i.e., warehouse).	The list to the right of the Normal Order Time box lets you define the unit of measure for the specified period of time.
On-site Delivery Time	Number	The amount of time that it takes to have the spare part transferred from where it is stored on-site (e.g., warehouse) to the repair location.	The list to the right of the On-site Delivery Time box lets you define the unit of measure for the specified period of time.
Spare Name	Character	The name of the Spare record.	This is a required field. The name of each Spare must be unique to the root Spares Analysis.
