Hi George
We use oracle,
what we do is apply a template
of attributes to each P/N.
We have created a Phantom template
of attributes that will allow our system to process qty 0.
Good Luck !

                Subject:        [TN] Embedded Resistors

                Greetings,
                        I am looking for a little help regarding embedded
resistors.  This
                is not a true design issue but rather an information issue.
We intend to
                treat them as  parts as far as the CAD system is concerned
as opposed to a
                feature.  On the schematic, each resistor will have the
usual set of
                attributes: ref des, value, tol, pin num.  When we run our
parts list, these
                show up as discrete parts.  What schemes are used to make
sure they are for
                internal use only and some purchasing agent won't try to buy
them?  TIA!
