Further Information

The Vendor can be setup to supply both Part Purchases and Merchandise Purchases as a Products and Services

Blackpurl allows the Dealership to assign a different Category to Part Purchases and Merchandise Purchased based on the Part Type selected on the Part Record

For example

On the Part record below Part# QB Test 1 we have selected the Part Type: Merchandise 

On the relevant Vendor Record (note the Vendor: Test Hitesh above) the Category for Merchandise is Service Parts

This means that when we sell this part or purchase this part, it will follow the Category of Service Parts for Accounting Integration
