Generating and Transmitting a Parts Locator File

The Parts locator software generates a list of parts that meet a set of standards. These standards are intended to distinguish slow moving and obsolete parts within the inventory which are analyzed by General Motors. The software allows you to do this by searching for a specific part or optionally to view a list of the entire inventory.

Note: To uphold the accuracy of the data produced, you must generate a parts locator file weekly.

To generate and transmit a parts locator file:
