Parts Needed Report
When you open the Parts Needed report, it displays a data table listing parts information in its default format.
You can adjust the filters and parameters to narrow down what the report shows. For example, you can filter to see only parts that are waiting to be ordered, or limit results to a specific vendor.
Use this report to determine which Vendor Orders need to be placed urgently and which can wait.
This report should be reviewed at least once a day by the person responsible for ordering parts at your dealership.
