Necessary to optimise supply and holdings of maintenance spares.
Descriptive data, together with variables such as supplier and part number reference is
maintained throughout the system and carries over into other maintenance, and accounting
modules.
The catalogue acts as a strategic weapon, putting you in a better buying position
with your suppliers. It contains the alternatives (suppliers, part numbers, substitutions
etc) which can be then used in Contract and Purchasing areas.
