Options - for problem parts




I was using some glue on the weekend --and noticed this ...

The part # was hand written on the part ....  in this case Seal All Glue that we get from Auto Sense ( since CARQUEST doesn't bother importing - so only USA jobbers get ... but it has been a good selling sku and we like to stock it )

BUT --there is also a UPC code on it .... but we don;t have scanners ... I was wondering .....

What happens when you update data in EXPLORIS with UPC codes ( which we are doing for all new price updated on X lines and most parts in CARQUEST should ( err ..should ?)  have a UPC code data



Well -- it works .... have a question why we seemed to duplicate this UPC in this example - there on Seal-All did NOT duplicate .... it might have been something to do with the part was originally manually written up ( hint - no dash between the 156 sub line and the part # ... or it was preciously manually added ... we are asking for a report to list all parts and their UPC data .... we are still waiting ...  the duplicate data leads to the same part --you would have a tougher problem on a UPC code updating to a different # --we have LOTS to learn about UPC codes ....

The UPC data is on a separate pane in the F-8 Part info window -- 

So --go try this .....  grab a part and type in the UPC code # .. 
hint -- pick a CQ part for now --or Seal-All glue ....
