This article will explain the difference between a Part Record - Inventory and a Part Record - Non-Inventory 


All part records have the indicator  and if this indicator is selected then it means that the part record will no longer be a Part Record - Inventory but what does that mean


Part Record - Inventory 


  • This should be the majority of your Part Records in your Blackpurl
  • This type of Part Record will allow you to add cost / can be ordered / can be special ordered from a Customer Order
  • On each Part Record it will show you how many in stock / how many available / how many on order / how many committed 
  • On each Part Record it will show you open Customer Orders and list the Invoices where the part was sold 
  • On the Customer Order - Profitability it will use the cost and price charged to customer to provide you with the profit 
  • It will be part of your inventory valuation 



Part Record - Non-Inventory 


  • This is not recommended to be used but it may be necessary for miscellaneous items
  • The Dealership cannot add cost / it cannot be ordered / it cannot be special ordered from a Customer Order
  • On each Part Record it will NOT show you how many in stock as no quantities are retained 
  • On each Part Record it will show you open Customer Orders and list the Invoices where the part was sold 
  • It will show up in your Customer Order - Profitability as 100% profit as there is no cost involved  
  • It will not be part of your inventory valuation
  • When added to a Customer Order, it will always show as available and in stock
  • When you add a non-inventory Part Record to a Customer Order, the user does have the ability to override the description so it makes sense to the Customer
