If an item has a part assigned, all items on that bib record need to also have parts assigned. Otherwise patrons will not be able to place holds properly.
Holdings View
You can add the column for Part in Holdings View. Go to the gear icon, choose “Part” and make sure to Save Grid Configuration.
For consistency across bibliographic records, a controlled vocabulary is required to be used in parts labels.

Just because an item has the words “volume” or “season” in the record doesn't necessarily mean that you need to create a part for the item.
Consider before creating a part:
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you can probably create a part label on this record. If the answer is no, you may want to consider whether or not this is appropriate to add parts to this bib record.
Once you've confirmed that a part exists for the item you're trying to catalog, you can connect the part with your particular item that you have in hand. This could happen as you're cataloging, or later if you're doing retrospective clean up.
