The <code class="classname">PartData</code>, <code class="classname">SupplierData</code> and <code class="classname">ShipmentData</code>
classes have been removed in this example, and the <code class="classname">Part</code>,
<code class="classname">Supplier</code> and <code class="classname">Shipment</code> entity classes are used in
their place.
</p>
<p>
The serial formats are created with the entity classes.
