The Temp. Parts page helps you manage temporary parts (TMP-XX parts). Select the Temp. Parts menu to open all the temporary parts created and not processed yet. Users can optionally display processed Temp Parts as well. (Refer to Including Assigned Parts).
Creating and Viewing Temp Parts
Temp Parts can be created using several methods.
•Using the Distributor Search feature as described in the previous section.
•Using the New > Add as TMP feature to create a new Temp Part.
•Using the Copy > Copy as TMP feature to create a new Temp Part from an existing Formal or Temp Part.
•Deriving a database part in Capture CIS, from the Schematic Design or CIS Explorer window. Refer to the OrCAD Capture CIS User Guide for additional information.
Regardless of the creation method used, the Temp Part created is automatically assigned the next available temporary part number (in the form of TMP-XX). This number will be reflected on the Temp. Parts list. Additionally, CIS users are able to view and place the Temp Parts on their schematic designs. Once they are converted to formal parts, CIS users can update their schematics using the Part Manager.
Note: Preview and place buttons are not available in Temp Parts page when CIP is opened in System Capture.

Changing a Temp Part to a Formal Part
For Temp Parts that are valid and should be added to the database formally, the Temp Part number will need to be changed. Changing a Temp Part number to a formal part number can be done by selecting the Edit button 
inside the Part Information page. Part updates are reflected in both CIP and CIS, as they share a common parts database.
Edit Temp Part
Manually input the desired PART_NUMBER or click the auto-generate button 
to pull the next available number for the current part's View (Inductors in this case). Update any additional fields, if desired. Click the Save button 
to save the change(s). The TMP-XX part is now a formal part.
Manually Input or Auto-Generate Formal PN, then Save
