ITrack/Pro/Parts Screen
Adding Parts
There are two main reasons to add parts from this screen versus the teardown screen.
- The part you are entering is aftermarket or miscellaneous, you did not purchase the truck to which this part belongs.
- You have a part off of one of your vehicles and wish to enter in more detailed information about it than you are allowed to from the teardown screen. For example, if you want to upload images of the part.
Access the Part Management Screen by clicking Parts in the Main Menu. Or, bring up the screen by clicking on the Enter Parts button in the Vehicle Management Screen. Then decide which type of part you want to add: Standard, Aftermarket or Miscellaneous.
When you click on Enter Parts from the Vehicle Management Screen, the vehicle information about the part will automatically fill in.
If you click on Parts from the Main Menu, the Part Management Screen will be blank.
Part Information Tab
The first tab on the Part Management Screen is Part Information. From this screen you can fill out all of the basic information about the part. Some parts can be broken down into component parts, such as engine assemblies. To break down these parts, click the Breakdown button in the lower right corner. From here, you can tell ITrack which components you have.
Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab allows you to enter more information about your parts. From this tab you can view locations for the part, create build orders, and add images and attachments.
Locations
From the Advanced tab in the Part Management Screen you can specify locations for parts. The locations section allows you to add more quantities of a part to your inventory.
Locations also allows you you to have a quantity of a certain part in one part of your store and more quantities in another location.
The order of locations is important since as parts are sold, they are taken out of the highest ranked location on the list with parts available.
Build Orders
From the Advanced tab in the Part Management Screen you can create build orders. Build orders allow you to combine a group of component parts to make a new part. For example, you may combine a transmission core, a rebuild kit and labor to build a new transmission that is ready to use.
Click the Create New button to create a new build order. This will open up the Quotes Screen. This is where you will enter in the different components to make the completed part.
When you have entered in all of the components, click the Save button to go back to build orders. Your build order will now appear with the total cost of creating the new part.
Attachments and Images
The Advanced tab in the Part Management Screen allows you to enter images and attachments that will be associated with the part. You may enter an unlimited number of images and attachments for each part.
Click the Add button next to access particular file. Then select the file you want to add. Click the Open button to attach the file. ITrack attaches the image to the part and previews the image in the space below the list.
Other digital files can be associated with the part using the Attachments section. An example of an attachment would be if there was an email sent about the part you could save it as a file and then attach the file to the part.
The Pub. column defines if a particular image will be displayed on web. If the check box next to the image it is not checked, it will not be displayed on the web but will still be viewable in ITrack.
