Updating MCL file for Activant -order of parts

I was looking at how we added an X line ( Ideal Brake ) to the secondary page ( go have a look and see ) ...when I noticed this .... OMG .... what a mess the first image is marked OLD and has rotors split and the pad order is wrong ....

So I went thru the exercise of trying to remember .... the MCL file is something we have asked to have access for - most CARQUEST jobbers will not know what this is... but it is a messy file to work with as you need to figure out what the sup

plier is ... and then ADD the new and DELETE the old setting ( not just an easy modify one might expect )

Anyways - here is what your brakes look like now -- marked NEW ... the ROTORS are grouped together and the pads are in price order .... I still can NOT do anything about the FRI - RED PADS that link to the new line RDP --we will ask Toronto is they can HURRY UP and delete this redundant listing ... what a pain in the ass...

Control of MCL File in E-Cat

We have control of the MCL file now -- the problem with J-Con is once you had control - you had to add new lines ... we have been assured that NEW LINES will be updated on our behalf - and our control allows us to fine tune the catalog ( add new X lines or adjusting the priority of lines displayed ).

One EXAMPLE requested by Greg Guyitt is to MOVE the best brake pads to the TOP and move the RED PADS below that.

If you check --it has been done.   Do you like it ?   I would ask that YOU not mess with the MCL file and allow me to keep it as job security ( at least for a month ).  The changes only have to be made ONCE for multi-store ( OK with that :-).  You do NOT have to LOG-OUT to see the changes -- just grab a new catalog look-up.

 
Why is it called MCL file --who knows - that is a name Activant gave it.
