Enkeltpart

Enkeltpart is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to denote a single component or item, as opposed to parts sold as part of a kit, set, or assembly. The word combines enkelt (single, individual) with part (part). In procurement, inventory management, and technical catalogs, enke lpart refers to a line item that represents one component that can be ordered or stored separately.

Practically, an enkeltpart is a distinct part number in a bill of materials (BOM) or parts catalogue. It contrasts with components that are only sold as part of a larger assembly or as a kit. Ordering an enkeltpart yields a single unit rather than multiple items, enabling precise tracking of stock and cost.

Usage and variations: The term is common in Danish and Norwegian industrial contexts, though some companies use synonyms such as enkeltdel or enkelt komponent. The concept is widely understood in ERP and procurement systems, where items are categorized as enkeltparts to enable separate ordering and inventory management.

Examples: a specific bolt, a single bearing, or a discrete resistor are typically treated as enkeltparts in catalogs or BOMs.
