Part already in Inventree database, different MPN

[martin323232]

For some components with different MPN and even some with different manufactuerer I get "part already in Inventree database"

GR67M20A and GR67M25A gets added to the same part in inventree.

Had to add a different name for the two grommets.

Hi there @martin323232

Here the problems is that those two parts can be differentiated as their name and description are the same on Digi-Key... and InvenTree does not accept a new part when those are the same.
The only way you can create a new part is to change the name, for instance for GR67M20A, you can append the MPN at the end of the name:

Before you do that, I just found a bug with that that I am going to fix in 0.6.5, give me a bit of time to release it, I'll let you know 😃

even some with different manufactuerer

If an InvenTree part already contains a manufacturer part with the same manufacturer and MPN then it will be skipped and won't be added to the database. In other cases:

• If manufacturer name is different: it will always create a new manufacturer part but decision to create a new InvenTree part depends if its "name" and "revision" field are the same to other existing InvenTree part
• If MPN is different: it will always create a new InvenTree part

0.6.5 is now on PyPI, let me know if the workaround works for you 👍
