How parts and vendor costs stay accountable

Review vendor invoices, RO-linked part context, ordinary returns, cores, credits, and aged unresolved costs without presenting VehicleDesk as accounting or inventory software.

01

Enter the vendor document

The parts workspace records vendor invoice context and can connect relevant repair-order and part information so the operational exception remains traceable.

02

Separate each exception type

Ordinary returns, cores, vendor credits, and aged unresolved costs have different evidence and outcomes. Keeping them distinct makes follow-up easier to inspect.

03

Search before duplicating

Invoice search and repair-order context help staff find an existing record before adding another. The workflow supports review; it does not claim automatic accounting reconciliation.

04

Respect the system boundary

VehicleDesk does not position this surface as inventory management, purchasing, a general ledger, or a QuickBooks replacement. Financial authority remains with the shop's approved accounting process.
