Repair Tab

Compare Replacement Part Types

Use the Part Compare dialog box to compare the cost of different types of replacement parts.

The Part Compare dialog box provides part prices, labor and refinish time, and the total dollar amounts for four types of replacement parts (new, aftermarket, remanufactured, and recycled).

You can compare the cost of different replacement part types and decide which one you want to use in your estimate.

You can also select a replacement part and compare the cost to repair versus replace it.

How to

Compare replacement part types

In your estimate, right-click the part you want to compare, and click Part Details.
On the Part Detail dialog box, click Compare.
On the Part Compare dialog box, review your options for replacement part types.

The system automatically selects the most cost effective part type. You can override the default and select any part type shown.

For each part type (aftermarket, remanufactured, recycled), the system automatically lists the most cost effective supplier. You can override the default and select any supplier listed.
With MAPP installed, you can select different alternate parts from the AM list to use in the comparison.
With QRP installed, you can select different recycled parts from the LK list to use in the comparison.
In the Adj boxes, enter cost adjustments such as markup or discounts, if needed.
When you know which part and part type you want to use, click the Select option for that part type, and click OK.
