The Add Part Choices dialog is used to search for and add supply chain information when adding a new part to the BOM as it provides access to all of the parts available through the Altium Parts Provider. Adding and editing Solutions uses essentially the same process for both managed and unmanaged components. Regardless of whether you are adding a Manufacturer Link to add a Solution to an unmanaged component, or adding a new Part Choice to add a Solution to a managed component, you search for the part in the Add Part Choices dialog.
The dialog is accessed from a *.BomDoc by selecting Create/Edit Manufacturer Links from the Add Solution drop-down menu and selecting Add in the Edit Part Choices dialog.

Alternatively, if models are not available for the selected component – it cannot be matched as a manufacturer part in the Altium Content Vault – the Part Request option is offered (if enabled at a server level).
Further options in the part Details section include:
