Your Inventory will track the quantity of your parts and tires on hand. You can set a Critical Qty for a part or tire so that a Reorder label will appear when the quantity on hand dips below your set Critical Qty, including the number you need to reorder to get back to your Critical Qty.

Likewise, a Shortage label will appear for any item that has its quantity dip below zero, with the number again representing the number you need to reorder to get back to your Critical Qty:

Note: to view all parts or tires that need to be reordered or are short, click on the Status filter and click on the desired status:

You can also view a list of activity history for all parts and tires from the Inventory Timeline. From the Inventory Page click the Timeline Tab. From there you can find the date an action took place, the item that was affected, the action, the change, and who changed it. Click on an Item name in the item column to open the part or tire. You can also click the order or purchase order in the Action column to open it.

The Timeline has filters you can use to find exactly what you’re looking for. Filter by Date, Changed By, Vendor, Part Property, or Tire Property. For example, you can find all of the changes by any employee by using the Changed By filter, or you can find all price changes by using the Part Property or Tire Property filter and selecting Retail Price.
