Common problems

The questions asked most often, with answers.

ProblemAnswer
A field is greyed outOne of: the part is checked out by someone else, the revision is released and that field locks on release, or your role doesn't include that field group. Hovering the field usually says which.
I can't check out a partSomeone else holds it — their name is shown. See Locks and conflicts.
Rolled cost looks too lowAlmost always parts with no supplier price contributing zero. Filter the BOM for lines with no cost.
Weight shows zeroWeight needs both a 3D model and a material with a density. Set the material.
A part I created has disappearedCheck your filters — list views often exclude drafts or scope to a project. If deleted, look in the recycle bin.
The BOM still shows a part I removed in CADDeliberate. Check-in adds and updates BOM lines but never deletes them, so a suppressed component can't silently remove purchasing data. Remove the line in the vault.
An export is missing columnsColumn selection is remembered per user. Open the export dialog and re-tick them.
A supplier says they can't see a documentCheck the share hasn't expired or been revoked, and that the document is on a released revision.
Search doesn't find somethingCheck state filters and your access scope. If it was just created, wait a moment. An administrator can rebuild the index.
I can't submit for approvalA required field is empty, an approval is outstanding, or a linked part is still checked out. The record normally says which.
Still stuck?
