It is NOT backwards compatible with 5.6. ||
||   || [[@control/Control - What is Smart Parts|Smart Parts]]  \\ ** Do you have products that use tens, hundreds, or thousands of potential parts? \\ ** Would it be convenient to quickly search through your parts using keywords and phrases to add them to orders? \\ ** Smart Parts adds three new Variable types and four new Pricing Form Components to view existing Parts and allow Parts to be easily added during order entry. \\ ** Combined with Batch Names, the Smart Parts system makes customization of an order faster than ever. ||
