Parts Needed Report 


  • Once you have navigated to the report, this is the default format of the report:


  • Remember that you can change the parameter / filter to have the report show you what you need to see - for example maybe you just want to see what Parts need to be ordered 



  • Use this report to work out what Vendor Orders the Dealership needs to play / what Vendor Orders can wait etc



We would recommend that this report will need to be reviewed at least once a day by the user that is responsible for ordering parts for your dealership
