I was looking at this and just realized There's a place specifically for inhouse partnumber... I will have to correct out parts management and our BOMs to reflect the change just so we won't have to keep changing the parts information every time we import a part! Thanks so much for this!

On my website you can find a pdf where I point out the purpose of many more parts database properties, they are not always named with terms that make their purpose obvious.

First of all, thank you for such useful content.
I couldn't find the "csvimportexport.cfg" file, can you please upload it or tell me how to create it?
