Researching Parts History for an Aircraft

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.
