Crossovers

Oftentimes, users must cross over fixtures/ parts when given a part/ catalog number that is not a brand they represent. OASIS can build a "Crossover Table," using a learn-as-you-go method for crossing over fixtures. To begin, users must enter the "Alt MFG" and "Alt Part" when initially crossing a product. This begins building the crossover table. Users must also add the "Spec Status" column to the quote to determine if crossovers have been approved and are successful.

Adding "Alt MFG," "Alt Part" and "Spec Stat" Columns to the Quote

1. Navigate to the Quotes page.

2. Create a new quote or open an existing quote.

3. Select "File."

4. Select "Preferences."

5. The "Set Quote Preferences" window will appear.

6. Select the "Columns" tab.

7. Check the "Alt MFG," "Alt Part," and "Spec Stat" boxes. Note: use the "up" and "down" buttons to move the columns left or right on the quote. 

8. Select "OK."

9. The columns will appear on the "Items" tab of the quote.

Manually Entering Quote Information

 Once the columns have been added to the quote, users will need to enter the corresponding part and manufacturer that must be crossed with the alternate part and manufacturer. For user convenience, once this process has been completed, the crossover will be built into crossover history. Note: users will need to save/ print in order to view the correct crossover history. As this process is repeated, the table will continuously build and become more useful.

2. In the "MFG" column, enter the name of the manufacturer you represent.
