Equipment group standard parts

Standard parts are defined at the equipment group level so that units created within the group automatically inherit the standard parts that you wish to track. For instance, if you wish to track transmissions or engines, standard parts definitions for these parts at the equipment group level will automatically give each unit within the group the item on its specific component list.
