Tires that are currently on backorder can be added to a Distributor's Backordered Parts list. Use this list to ensure your dealers are aware of part orders that cannot be immediately filled. Dealers will see a status of "backordered" on parts that are not currently in stock. Once a tire is back in stock, it can be removed from the Backordered Parts list. (Click here for more information on removing a part from the Backordered Parts list.)
To add a part to the backordered list:
- From D2DLink, click Backordered Parts.
- If needed, click Change and select the appropriate OEM from the drop-down list.
- Type the part number in the Add Part field. Only one part can be entered at a time.
- Click Add.
- The part will be added to the parts list below.
- Parts will display as Backordered when filling orders. (Click here for more information on filling orders.) Once a part is added to the Backordered list, all unfilled orders with the part will display the new status.
- Additionally, a dealer will then be able to see the part is backordered within D2DLink.
Once a tire is back in stock, simply click the part to highlight, and then click Remove from List.
