WORLDPAC controls the confirmation of the order. If the parts are updated on the R.O. Writer ticket, the order has been placed. If there is some problem placing the parts order, the speedDIAL program will respond with a message indicating that the order could not be placed.

When parts are updated on an R.O. Writer ticket from a speedDIAL order,

The Invoice # field is filled in with the invoice number from speedDIAL for that order.

Auto-posting of the Accounts Payable transaction is not available with the WORLDPAC interface. The confirmation number is entered into the Invoice field for the part if you've selected the option to auto-post the invoice number in Dial Configuration. You must remove this number to manually post the Accounts Payable transaction. To be able to edit this field, select Edit Inv # on Add Parts in R.O. Options. The confirmation number is not posed if the auto-post invoice number option was not selected.

When parts are exported from WORLDPAC to the ticket, they are placed on the current repair order in R.O. Writer. If the part number received from WORLDPAC is already in R.O. Writer inventory, then R.O. Writer sets the parts price, cost, description, stocking type, etc. Parts price and cost are imported directly from WORLDPAC if the part does not exist in R.O. Writer inventory. Configuration is required. If the order for part(s) exported are submitted, the To Order box is not checked. If the order for part(s) was not submitted at this time, the To Order box will be checked.

If the part quoted is in your inventory, all part information comes from the part record except the product line. Orders placed to WORLDPAC depend on both the part number and the product line matching a WORLDPAC part number and product line, so product line is overridden by what WORLDPAC specifies. If the part is not in inventory, then Part Number, Part Description, Part Cost, Part Price, Part Line, and Core Charge will all come from WORLDPAC, and Supplier will equal what is set in Dial Configuration.

NOTE: To recalculate the price based on a price matrix, you will need to check the Smart Pricing box.
