Parts List Manager allows you to create lists of parts in order to optimize your ability to sell more parts and better manage your inventory. You can apply a variety of criteria to these lists, allowing you to automatically determine when to apply discounts, exclude discounts, or prevent parts in your inventory from being available to other dealers. These lists can be created and updated at anytime by clicking the Parts List Manager link--located under the D2DLink Tools menu.
Parts List Manager window is divided into three sections:
Use the drop-down to select the OEM you wish to create or manage a parts list for. The Parts List Manager grid will display once you select your OEM.
Previously created lists can be found on the grid. The following information/functionality about your part lists is available from the Parts List Manager grid:

Underneath your existing parts lists, click the Create Parts List for drop-down, select the type of list you wish to create, and then click Create List. Click the links below to view step-by-step instructions for creating a specific list. Note: Items listed within this drop-down will vary based on the OEM and your OEC subscription.
- Discount on D2DLink Locator: Create a list of parts that will have a cost minus discount when displaying on the Locator.
- Protected Parts: Create a list of parts that will never display on the D2DLink Locator. Note: A protected part is not the same as a discount excluded part. Protected parts will not display on the Locator. Discount excluded parts will display on the Locator, but will not be discounted.
