Standard Part Source F/M (ICF485)

Use this program to create source codes. This is the first step in both EPU and manual standard part number setup.

Source codes define the source of the standard part number, for instance UPC, IDW or EAN (the European equivalent to UPC). They refer to the industry standard by which the part numbers were created.
