Manufacturer

Top  Previous  Next

There are several pieces of information requested specific to the manufacturer of the part:

 

INV1

 

Build

Is the part New, Remanufactured, or Used.  You may wish to specify this in the field.  Most regulatory agencies assume all parts sold are new unless otherwise specifically stated on the invoice.  Full advance disclosure of the status of the part builds better customer confidence in your business.

 

Move

Some manufacturers issue special movement codes for parts which indicate the regularity with which they are routinely sold.  This information could be automatically provided in catalog disks and would be updated by the ASW interface program if available.  However, you can also use this internally with your own coding system.

 

Return

Some manufacturers will designate parts that can be routinely returned, and others that require prior authorization.  This coding system may also be provided on a manufacturer's catalog disk and inserted automatically by the ASW interface program if available.

 

Pack

This field is used to designate the normal packaging for this part.  For example, a unit of 1 might contain two pieces, or you could specify quart, ounce, foot or inches as the unit of measure.  Because the system supports decimal quantity, oil might be packaged per quart, but since it is pumped from a barrel, it can have a fractional amount, ie. 1.7 quarts.
