# Researching Parts History for an Aircraft
## This article explains how to use the Parts History tab for a specific aircraft, and how to expand that view across multiple aircraft using system reports.
The **Parts History tab** within an aircraft record provides a detailed, filterable view of all parts associated with Work Orders for that tail number. It gives maintenance and parts teams access to the part number, usage history, pricing, and fulfillment status — making it a powerful research tool for quoting, replenishment, and cost analysis.
