These include part names, prices, custom attributes. etc. You cannot have one part number with different part names and prices. If you have similar parts with different prices or names or custom attributes, you will need different part numbers for these parts.
Edit part numbers is a quick and efficient way to edit/assign part names and attributes for parts.
