Internal Parts

TrueAuto defines an internal part number as a product or a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). When orders are shipped against your customer’s part numbers, entries are made into an internal parts record that tracks all shipments of each SKU. Internal parts are also used in connection to an external system when exporting.
