| List of parts or a table | . | TBDATA |
| Table | Key | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| APPLICABILITY | CAT_COD, GRP_COD, SGRP_COD, CDS_COD | Probably used as a quick way of finding which parts are used in which sub groups |
| CARAT_DSC | CAT_COD, VMK_TYPE, LNG_COD | Decodes the first part of a variant. Indiciates whether special version or drivers side as examples |
| CAT_VAL | CAT_COD, VMK_TYPE, VMK_COD | Indicates which variants are available for a catalogue |
| VMK_DSC | CAT_COD, VMK_TYPE, VMK_COD, LNG_COD | Desciptions of variants, seems to be both special editions and optional extras depending on the VMK_TYPE column |
| CATALOGUES | MK_COD, CAT_COD | Lists all of the parts catalogues, a catalogue is a particular instance of a model. So Model is Punto, Catalogue is a specific era or type of Punto. Note, no language code on this table |
| CLICHE | CLH_COD | A Cliche is a parts diagram for a part. A typical exmple is a brake caliper. CPLX_PRT_COD is the link back to the PARTS table |
| CODES_DSC | CDS_COD, LNG_COD | Holds the desciption for the part. Maybe supplemented by data from DESC_AGG_DSC (which holds things like bolt size as 'M8', while CODES_DSC just has 'Bolt') |
| CODES_REC | CDS_COD | Holds the part number for a reconditioned version of a part |
| COLOURS_DSC | CAT_COD, COL_COD, LNG_COD | Holds descriptions for colours. Seems to be a mix of paint colours and trim colours. Prefix to COL_COD may indicate type of colour |
| COLOURS_PATH | CAT_COD, COL_COD | Holds a path to an image illustrating the colour - not checked. |
| COMM_MODGRP | MK2_COD, CMG_COD | The description for a model, again like CATALOGUES no language code |

| GROUPS_DSC | GRP_COD, LNG_COD | Descriptions for groups |
| HS_FIGURINI | IMG_NAME | Looks to be some sort of hot spot table? |
| INTERNAL_COLOURS_COMB | Possibly defines what colour interior goes with other elements? | |

| INTERNAL_COMPONENTS_DSC | COMPC_D, LNG_COD | Only Italian entries |
| KIT | CAT_COD, GRP_COD, SGRP_COD, SGS_COD, VARIANTE, REVISIONE, CPLX_PRT_COD, PRT_COD | A Kit of parts, the only example I've seen is brake pad sets, should get tagged on to end of parts list for a drawing or cliche |
