Abstract
A method for part data matching includes receiving a selection of an input file from a user. The input file includes part information identifying one or more parts. The part information includes at least one manufacturer name and at least one part number. A selection of a manufacturer name match template and a manufacturer part number match template are also received from the user. The match templates identify one or more matching techniques and the order in which the matching techniques are to be applied to match part information in the input file with part information in one or more sources of parts data. The matching techniques are used to identify one or more potential part matches, which are communicated to the user. In addition, the method includes receiving a selection of a potential match from the user for one or more parts identified in the input file.
