Add column MPN and #SKN in the Parts view

Hello,

I haven't found an option to add the two fields MPN and #SKN as columns to the parts view. Is it possible to customize this somewhere? My goal is to make it look like on my screenshot.

Best regards Simon

No, the relationship between parts, manufacturer parts and supplier parts are 1:n. So there would not be one SKU/MPN column but n ones.
You could write the data in metadata and add a custom view but that would be a bit counter our data model.

Thanks for the explanation. Sure I understand. I have not thought about that there is a 1:n relation. Of course, then it isn't possible.
I'm very new to InvenTree and not yet sure, how I should organize my inventory. It is just for my homelab, but it grew already so much with electronic parts, that I want to have a inventory for this. Therefore I try InvenTree, to see if it works for me.

Okay, I don't want to use the data model in a way it wasn't designed for. So I want to stick to, how it is intended to use.
Maybe I can ask therefore, if I'm on the right way, when I do it like in this screenshot? Adding parameters like Pin numbers and Series like in this case JST-XH and so on. And then maybe parameter like color, or type like housing, or crimp-contact or receptable or connector and so on. Or I am on the wrong way?

Best regards

Simon

This is a valid / correct use case
