For each IPB part, which data combination is listed?

• A. Part number, Nomenclature, Manufacture code, SM&R code, Quantity, Usable on code
• B. Part number, Nomenclature
• C. Part number, Nomenclature, SM&R code
• D. Part number, Nomenclature, Quantity

Answer: (A)

IPB entries carry the information needed to identify a part and determine how it’s bought, maintained, and used. The complete data set for each part typically includes the part number, nomenclature, manufacture code, SM&R code, quantity, and usable-on code. The part number and nomenclature identify what the item is; the manufacture code ties it to the maker; the SM&R code shows its sourcing, maintenance, and recoverability considerations; the quantity indicates how many are needed or stocked; and the usable-on code specifies the platforms or configurations the part fits. These elements together give a full, actionable description for procurement and maintenance. Other options omit one or more of these crucial fields, making them inadequate for a proper IPB entry.
