How do I add core parts?

FleetSquared allows you to link core parts to main parts in the system.  Anytime a main part, which is linked to a core, is added to a repair order, purchase order, or quick receiving, both the main part and the core part will be included in the transaction.  Core parts can also be returned for a full or partial refund.  This article explains how core parts can be created when adding new parts to FleetSquared, or linked to your existing parts.
