Stocking, quoting and selling tires

Open Tires. The tiles count tires on the rack — new and used — and, when your account shows shelf value, what the rack cost and what it sells for. The counts in the page header are items in the list below: one item can be four tires of the same size.

Put tires on the rack

Press + Add tire stock for new tires: the size can be typed however it came off the invoice (2254517, 225 45 17 and 225/45R17 are one size), and the stock lands on the parts shelf as well, so every tire that leaves is in the same stock ledger as every other part. Press + Rack a used tire for a takeoff worth keeping: its tread in thirty-seconds, where it is, and a price.

Type the DOT code off the sidewall. Every tire then says how old it is, because a new tire made six years ago is still six years old.

Find a size and quote it

Search by full size, by width and profile, or by wheel diameter alone. A full size you searched is filled into Quote tires, which builds a good-better-best text for the customer that stays a draft until somebody presses send.

Each price in the text includes the tires, the disposal fee when the shop charges one, and the tax — and nothing else. Mounting and balancing are not in a quote's price. When the customer picks one, choose the option and the repair order under Put one on a repair order. If the rack has that tire — the same size, brand and model, and enough of them — the tires come off the rack at the quoted price and the line carries the DOT week; if not, the line goes on as a special order. When your shop has its own mounting or balancing service or fee, the page lists it beside Also add so it can go on the order as its own line.

Sell tires from the rack

Press the size in the list to open that tire, choose the repair order and how many, and press Put on repair order. The tires come off the rack — new stock through the stock ledger, a used takeoff by its own count, which leaves the list when it reaches zero — and land on the ticket as their own service. Leave Charge disposal for their old tires ticked to add the shop's disposal fee for the same number of tires.

The line on the ticket names the tire and its DOT week, and a used tire's tread as well, so the invoice says how old the tire was when it went on. A tire the page marks as too old is not blocked; the warning is shown before you sell it.

Add tires on the repair order

On a service, press + Tires. The rack comes first: type a size or a brand and press Find on the rack, pick a tire — each one says new or used, how many are on hand, its price and how old it is — set how many, and press Put on this service. The tires come off the rack the same way they do from the tire's own page and land on that service, and the disposal box adds the shop's fee for the same number of tires. Pressing the button twice puts them on once.

A tire you do not have goes in under Not in stock — special order: the brand, the size however it was typed, a whole number of tires and the price each, then Add tires. The line is filed under Tires like every other tire sale.

New tire stock is on the parts shelf too, so it is also in + Part's list of stock, and there it says its age beside the count. Choose one that is too old to sell as new and the card says so and asks you to tick a box before Issue from stock — a warning you can go past, not a block.
