New move part ability to move parts from a given source (franchise, supplier) to any franchise which using a price file and has a matching part number.
The intent here is to help dealers that have incorrectly added suppliers into their franchise list for suppliers that can be an alternative source of parts (i.e. another dealership), meaning some parts for a given manufacturer end up in their system more than once.
How c9 is intended to be used, particularly with recent changes to ordering is that parts are in stock/price file only once. i.e. Honda parts under Honda franchise. But you may buy those parts from Bolton Motorcycles, Freestyle Honda etc who are suppliers. The part occurs once, but it can be ordered from 2 or more different suppliers.
Some users of c9 would put suppliers in as franchises and potentially add parts for a given manufacturer (i.e.honda) into different suppliers,as franchises. i.e. a clutch lever part # under Bolton, a gasket part # under freestyle, and something else under the franchise 'honda'.
This new tool allows you to highlight 'Bolton' franchise, figure out what parts should be mapped to franchises that actually represent the manufacturer (afterall Bolton may be a mix of Honda and KTM parts so a straight move parts function isn't going to work). With final intent of deleting/archive the bolton franchise and reading bolton as a supplier, who happens to be able to supply Honda and KTM parts, (just as freestyle can also supply Honda parts).
To access this, select Spares -> Utilities -> Move part. A new target option is now available:
- Intelligently/manually map to price file based franchises
This opens a window which shows mappings of parts to other price file based franchises, for bulk movement or movement one at a time.
Other changes:
- Bugfix : pickup insurance job would not work correctly if the job customer wasn't an account customer. Now fixed.
