Add parts to a job

Parts on a job card record what the vehicle needs and where it comes from. Each part line carries its supplier, a procurement status, and a fitted flag, so the card shows at a glance whether parts are still on order or already on the car.

Add a part to the card

  1. Open the job card and go to its parts.
  2. Add a part line with its name, quantity, cost, and sell price.
  3. Set the supplier from your existing supplier list.
  4. As the part moves through ordering, update its procurement status.

Supplier is a real supplier, not free text

A part's supplier links to a supplier already set up for your site, not a typed-in name. Set suppliers up once and reuse them across jobs.

Procurement status

Each part line carries its own ordering status so the card reflects where the part really is.

Part procurement statuses

If a part is not required, you do not add a line for it. There is no "not required" status, and a single part cannot be partly arrived, so a line is only ever one clear state.

Mark a part fitted

When you put the part on the vehicle, mark it fitted on its line. Openhood rolls the individual part lines up into a single parts status on the job card, so the card shows whether everything is awaiting order, awaiting delivery, ready, blocked, or fitted without you having to read every line.

Stock control is a separate add-on

Adding a part to a job card records the part for the job. Live stock deduction, on-hand counts, bin locations, and stock movements belong to the separate Stock Control module, which is not part of the base parts flow. Adding a part here does not draw down site inventory.
