SW Enterprise PDM - purchased parts
(OP)
Would you revision control your purchased parts by putting them into a vault folder? Or would you not and just put them into a folder designated as a "library"?
Also, if you put your purchased parts into the vault, do you loose the drag/drop feature of "library" parts?

RE: SW Enterprise PDM - purchased parts
I would attach a specification control to your purchased parts. This allows you to explain just what your part is and why you selected it. You can provide required performance and alternate manufacturers and part numbers.
Such a document should be under revision contro.

Our library of purchased parts which are accessible company wide on a network drive, was read only for most users, only a few people had write access so we would have some control over it.

You can also create a folder within the vault and check-in to there as revision "-".
