Many teams start with a part numbering system constructed and managed in a spreadsheet. Team members access the spreadsheet, record that they will be using the next available part number, and then save it so that team members will know which part numbers are available and which are not. While this process is common among early-stage companies, this type of system is fraught with risk and is time-consuming<\/p><p>The best situation for engineers is an automated\u00a0PLM-based\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/durolabs.co\/blog\/part-numbering-systems-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">part numbering system<\/a>\u00a0that handles part number assignment\u00a0duplicates. With this system, everyone can avoid the stress of managing a shared spreadsheet and the risk of propagating duplicate part numbers downstream into manufacturing software systems.<\/p><p>Using a PLM with Onshape, users can quickly assign new part numbers to Onshape parts (and assemblies) in a matter of seconds. By assigning part numbers, not only are the part number values written to the corresponding Part Number fields for each part in Onshape, but each Onshape part will now have a component record within your Duro account library.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80ba9fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"80ba9fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/durolabs.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ON-axle-subassembly-1.gif\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9217\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Duro PLM with Onshape<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d536d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4d536d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Release Management Integration<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a7b9479 post-text-block elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a7b9479\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Duro\u2019s app for Onshape has been designed to integrate easily with Onshape\u2019s existing Release Management architecture.
