Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'part' (a component) with 'inventory' (a record or stock of items) to mean a list/stock of parts. This is a regular noun–noun compound following common English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically obvious, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Parts inventory started as the simple picture of shelves full of labeled spare parts kept in an inventory so people can find what they need fast. So it means 'a list or stock of replacement parts' kept on hand to fix machines quickly.
