I'm evaluating the way we document parts of objects in TMS.  There are
two ways of doing this - using the component function, or creating
relationships (parent-child) between object records.  Of particular
concern for us are the implications each method has for shipping and
loans.  If anyone out there would be willing to share their experiences
using either method, and the pros and cons of their chosen method of
cataloging and tracking parts, it would be a tremendous help.  

 

Many thanks,
Amber
