Creating a vendor parts record

You use the Definition tab on the Vendor Parts page to add vendor-supplied parts to your system. These parts can be specific to a shop and vendor combination or just a vendor. Before you can charge vendor parts to a repair order, you must first create the Vendor Parts master record for that part.

To create a vendor parts record:

  1. Go to Menu > Masters > Vendor Parts.
    The Vendor Parts page opens.
