English term or phrase: part choice
Bonjour,

Dans le cadre d'un article sur la gestion des fournisseurs de circuits imprimés et, j'ai du mal à trouver une traduction consacrée du terme "part choice".

Voici la phrase dans laquelle celui-ci se trouve:

For example, let’s take a look at the xxx part xxx-xxx. The vault ID for this component is xxx. Selecting the vault item, it has one part choice. Setting the view to Supply Chain​, we see the “Part Choice” has three configured solutions.

Connaissez-vous ce terme?

Merci de vos suggestions!

sélection de composant
Explanation:
In the absence of wider context, this seems to be what they are talking about here.

You could also use 'choix', of course, but personally I think 'sélection' works marginaly better in this instance.

Each choice involves picking ONE SINGLE component from the set of all possible ones; although in FR a substantif used to qualify another will usually be pliural whereas it is singular in EN, I think this is one instance where that may not (necessarily) be the case — depending on exactly how it is used:

IF this were to be the heading for a window in which components are selected, then yes 'sélection de composants' would be required.

HOWEVER, in at least one of Asker's instances, it seems to be being used in a different way, effectively saying 'this is the component that has been chosen'; in that particular instance, I think the singular would be required, EVEN in FR.

Hence 2 different solutions may be required, depending on how/where it is being used.

j'aurais tendance à mettre un pluriel en français derrière choix ou sélection

  -> Merci, F-X ! Exactly! One component at a time... though of course there may be several 'choices'!
