Multi-Store – Touching Parts

I have written many articles about Multi-Store Creator-Editor for Exploris ( Parts Watch by Autologue ) – many of them critical of the errors that still exist and are afraid to fix due to the complexity of the program ( a fact told to me by someone at Autologue).

But – here is one positive item … every time a store calls a part up and doesn’t sell the part … after month end the MS C-E program gets updated with a ZERO in that month. This is handy to see how many calls ( and often in our stores we source fro an XBO Buy Out that is hard to track – since CQ Toronto doesn’t stock a lot of the slowest parts … ps when you see a positive # – we sold as a CARQUEST # buy got it elsewhere …

Look at this example DOIR 624-577 ( that came from Andrew at Petes when he wrote catalogPRS to verify the part fits a 2007 ( which he sold and our customer did say it does fit ) so all other jobbers can benefit. The e-cat shows 2005-06 Ford F150.

Now — need to talk our secondary supplier into stocking this -( we have given up on asking CQ Canada to add more stock ) …. and we have an order point awaiting … based upon our past ‘touches’

The Blue X is the sale where Andrew wrote a follow up to E-Cat …this won’t show until after end of Aug month end … Multi-Store Creator-Editor … is a GREAT program — but the problems that should have been corrected … would make it a super-duper program for multi-store jobbers.
