What is Parts Master?
Every Fishbowl part appears here. You control which ones customers see, what they're called, and which configurators they appear in. Fishbowl is never modified — Parts Master is purely a customer-facing overlay.
Recommended Workflow
- Click ✨ AI Classify on the Unclassified tab — Claude reads each part description and fills in category, color, width, and a suggested customer label
- Review each row inline — correct anything AI got wrong directly in the cell
- Check the Configurator boxes for each part (Canvas, TruSim, etc.)
- Set the Customer Label — what customers actually see in the dropdown
- Flip Visible on — the part immediately appears in that configurator
Column Guide
- Part # — Fishbowl part number. Read-only. Hover it to see the original Fishbowl description — the description no longer has its own column (the table was too wide), but search still matches against it.
- AI Description — What AI suggested as the customer label (italic purple). Use this as a starting point for Customer Label.
- Category — Fabric (sold by yard) / Trim (edge tape/webbing) / Hardware (grommets, buckles). AI fills this in, you can change it.
- Show zero-stock parts — Off by default. A part exists in Fishbowl the moment you create it, but a slit part has no yardage until its run finishes — so it starts with zero on hand and is hidden here. Turn this on to see those parts (dimmed, marked no stock) and set up their category, label and configurator tags before the run. They stay out of the customer-facing configurator pickers until real stock lands, so nobody can quote fabric that doesn't exist yet.
- On Hand — Gross stock in Fishbowl. Read-only. Live, cached 5 minutes.
- Alloc — Committed to open sales, manufacturing, purchase and transfer orders. Read-only.
- Avail — On Hand − Alloc − not-available. This is the number to act on — what you can actually commit to a new quote or configurator. Red means fully committed; amber means under 10% left. Matches the Available figure customers see in the portal. Shows "—" if Fishbowl is unreachable.
- Customer Label — What customers see in the dropdown. Be descriptive: "2" White Loop Velcro", "#4 Brass Grommet".
- Color — Drives SVG drawing and print output. Use: white, black, natural, silver, brass.
- Width" — In inches. Locks the width on trim cards so customers can't change it independently.
- Subtype — hook, loop, webbing, grommet, dring, etc. Controls which section of the configurator it appears in.
- Configurator checkboxes — Check each configurator where this part should appear. Adding a new configurator automatically adds a new column here.
- Visible — Master on/off switch. Only turn on after label and configurator are set.
- ● — Save indicator: grey=unchanged, amber=unsaved changes, green=saved, purple=saving.
