About 9-2 Parts

In the parts database you can manage costs, track part inventories, and even assign an image to individual part records. You do not have to limit part records to building materials. You can even create part records for labor costs.

To set up a parts database, enter the parts manually or import an existing database. If you subscribe to a part pricing service, you can update the prices in the parts database as you receive the latest service updates.

For each part record, you can set up a list of parts vendors that indicates the vendor with whom you prefer to do business. When creating a takeoff, Sage 100 Contractor can select the preferred vendors for parts.

With inventory locations, Sage 100 Contractor tracks the total inventory that you currently have. When using the Inventory module, Sage 100 Contractor reduces the quantity on hand when you assign parts status 4-Shipped. If you are using Service Receivables, Sage 100 Contractor reduces the part quantity on hand based on invoices with status 1-Open, 2-Review, 3-Dispute, or 4-Paid.

With service work, parts use a billing price. When you indicate a part in the Service Receivables module, Sage 100 Contractor uses the billing price instead of the cost price.
