The Catalogue can be used so ALL staff members can look up Parts Prices, Quote the SAME price and also Identify the CORRECT Part or at least see there is more than one part for this job and ask the RIGHT questions to supply the correct part.

NO STOCK ENTRY IS REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS OPTION.

 

Remember this information can be entered by them that know the prices for those that don’t. It will stop the constant asking “what’s the price of this” It will also allow you to make sure the correct part is sent by ADDING ALL variants to the catalogue.

This Icon on the Top Toolbar is for the Catalogue. ALL enquries, changes and additions to the catalogue are done here.

We this this part is very simple and self explanatory.

 

You can display the catalogue entries in Description order, Lens Number order of Manufactures Number order.

 

You can also scroll up and down to find the item you are checking on or use the Search (type in part of the description) to find the part you are after.

 

In the Sample above you can very clearly see that if a customer was after a LHF Door Glass there are 3 different ones and the operator can see very clearly that the Tint type is required to get the correct part and Correct price.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE INVOICING SECTION OF PARTSLINK ACCOUNTS CAN BE SETUP TO AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THIS PRICE FROM THE CATALOGUE TO PUT ON THE INVOICE AS WELL.

 

This completes the WHOLE process. Customer rings for price, is quoted the same price by ALL staff members and then when the Invoice is done the SAME price is charged as well.

 

How many times have you felt silly because you quoted a different price to someone else.
