# Spare Part Reference

Once you have defined [Product Models](/docs/product-model), you can associate [Spare Parts](/docs/spare-parts) to them.

A *Spare Part* is defined in the catalog, and the same *Spare Part* can be reused among different *Product Models*, but the usage may be different (e.g. Quantity, Wear). For example, the same bearing may be inserted once in Model A and three times in Model B, but Model A may have more intensive bearing usage than Model B.

So the usage of a Spare Part by a Product Model is more than a simple relationship, and to define this extra information you can leverage the concept of *Spare Part Reference.*

A *Product Model* can be structured in *Model Parts,* each one referencing a specific set of *Spare Parts.*

This feature is available for the following modules

SMART SPARE PARTS & CONSUMABLES

## Creating Spare Part References

Spare Part References can be directly added to the *Product Model* o on the sub *Model Parts*.

Here you will find how to configure a Spare Part Reference in a Model Part.

To create a new *Spare Part Reference*, you should:

1. Enter the *Catalog* / *Product Models* page.
2. Select the *Product Model* where you want to add *Spare Part References*.
3. Go down the page and click on the top right *Add Model Part* button.
4. Edit the available fields.
5. Press the *Save* button.
6. Enter the newly created *Model Part*
7. In the *Spare Parts References* section, press *Add Spare Part Reference*.
8. Edit the available fields and press Save.

## Editing a Spare Part Reference

By clicking on a *Spare Part Reference*, you can edit its properties:

- **Spare Part**: the referenced Spare Part;
- **Group**: an optional label you can specify to better describe where the Spare Part is included (e.g. Top Joint);
- **Quantity**: represent the occurrences of the spare part in the Product Model o Model Part;
- **Technical Scheme Position**: the optional label describing the position (e.g. A1) in the technical scheme, if defined.

## Defining Technical Schemes

On a *Product Model* or *Model Part*, you can define technical schemes that can be displayed in the [Catalog](/docs/catalog-widget) widget by users to navigate complex models. In the *Technical Schemes* section by clicking the *Add Technical Scheme* button you can define a new scheme.

A Technical Scheme is described by:

- **Name**: the name which is visible in the within the DPS.
- **Description**: the description of the scheme.
- **Image**: the URL where the scheme image is located. The image is a public HTTPS URL from which the image can be downloaded. You can also specify whether the target URL denotes a PNG/JPG image or an [SVG Scheme](/docs/svg-scheme).

## Importing Spare Part References

If your product is complex and uses hundreds of *Spare Parts*, you can leverage the Import/Export function to manage references and *Model Parts*.

By entering the *Product Model*, over the *Spare Part References* section you can find the Import and Export buttons.

The Import is expecting a CSV with this format:

```plaintext
Spare Part Code,Quantity,Group,Model Part,Technical Scheme Position
SP000001,1,Group1,ModelPart1,10
SP000002,2,Group2,ModelPart2,20
```

In the CSV, you can specify the Model Part name where this *Spare Part Reference* must be created. The Model Part name can be nested by using the pipe separator (e.g. sealer|heater). During the import, missing *Model Parts* are automatically created. Model Parts will be created with the name only, while the other properties must be filled in manually (e.g. Description, Schemes).

If for a *Spare Part Reference*, the *Model Part* is not specified, the reference is directly created under the *Product Model*.
