new partfinder

just loaded issue nine and it now seems that most of the part numbers are now merloni style what a sod! all my bins listed with the old numbers and the wholesalers still using them. had a customer wanting a c00116358 only to find its a 1703274 think I’ll go and lie down in a darkened room!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know, and I bet they don’t produce a book of conversion numbers like Hoover did yonks ago? At least then we had some form of cross-reference. Fat chance Hoperloni will help us out there?

I bet it’s a ruddy nightmare for wholesalers too (I guess Brian C is well pleased he’s out of there? 😉 8) 😉 )

Re: new partfinder

Qualtes/Spareslink has been automatically converting them to the new number for a couple of weeks now, even if you enter the old part number.

Masterpart not quite there yet. 😉

Re: new partfinder

Its been a nightmare as an engineer emit and stock only recognised the old n/o but the delivery note and parts were stamped with the new n/o, if you couldnt remember the old part n/o we had trawl throught partfinder to dig it out. Thankfully part finder has been updated now and we can cross check parts on it now..

SOme of the stuff are the same, take old 179066 belt which is now C00179066 couldnt be easier, other stuff though has numbers bearing no relation to their original.

When you’re running Partfinder, click on the setup tab at the top then check the dropdown “display GDA part numbers” 😉
