Why:
If a part is identified as being required for a specific vehicle some time ahead of the vehicle’s arrival at the workshop then that part can be reserved by entering the details of the customer, job number and part number within this file.
This file will also be automatically updated when a part is entered onto a works order and that part cannot be supplied because stock is not available.
Following a goods receipt of parts from the supplier, at any time then can the Back Order Release Proposal be run to identify any parts that have been reserved and can now be filled from stock.
Where:
From the Parts View or Parts Order View, select Actions > Vehicle Parts. This will display a Parts Per Vehicle window.
How to Reserve Parts for a Vehicle:
The Parts Per Vehicle window lists all vehicles that currently have parts waiting for them in the Parts Waiting File.
To create a new entry within the Parts Waiting File select File > New. This will display a Create Vehicle Part Header window.
Here, you input the customer number and the vehicle that you would like to reserve parts for. Click OK to return to the Parts Per Vehicle window where the header you have just created should now be displayed. You then need to specify what parts you would like to reserve, to do this open the header and in the Parts on Order window select File > New. Then in the Create Vehicle Part Line window input the part number(s) that you want to reserve.
