Komatsu Parts Inventory & Retail File Interface

PFW is pleased to announce a new interface that is the result of a collaboration with Komatsu America. The Komatsu Parts Inventory and Retail File interface performs two separate functions: The first is the Inventory Position file, which is sent to Komatsu America once each month, where the parts master file -- sending ordering and sales information, in order to keep track of the parts inventory movement -- is transmitted from the dealer. The second is the Retail File, which sends all the sales information, including quantity requested and available -- as well as parts lost sales -- to Komatsu at the end of each day, in order to determine how much of each Komatsu-manufactured part is being requested, sold, back-ordered, and whether or not the stock is sufficient to meet demand.
