Setting Up Alternate Parts General Rules

The Alternate Parts feature allows you to set up the General defaults which include the part type selection precedence and the zip code range for Aftermarket, Recycled, Optional OEM, and Tire databases. Settings in this screen determine which alternate part types and associated vendors are displayed when adding parts to an estimate.
