The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk How many of you get wrong parts or miss matched parts?

Tom,
After buying extra parts as you mentioned in your post, I taught myself how to use the Excell spreadsheet. Now I list the date purchased, Description, P/N, supplier, price inc tax and shipping and location (were I placed the part until needed) Once I use the the part, I replace the location with Installed.
I can tell at a glance where the parts are and the TOTAL price of what I have purchased.
It takes a few minutes to set up but the end result pays off "BIG TIME" in knowing where your parts are and preventing duplicate buys. It is also a "road map" of what is left to do to complete the project.
