What's the difference between 部件, 零件, and 配件？
I'm trying to translate the English sentence "Manage parts & accessories retail operations" and am having difficulty finding the right words for "parts" and "accessories".
Also, not sure if I should throw in 辅助品 for "accessories" rather than one of the above options.
FYI, this translation is for a vehicle manufacturer.
零件 (parts) and 配件 (accessory) would suffice, in Traditional Chinese.
零件: parts;
配件: accessories;
部件: assembly unit; 部件 is composed of parts 零件;
parts & accessories can be 零配件.
So, "Manage parts & accessories retail operations" can be interpreted as 管理 零配件 零售运营.
