Editing a Part Inventory

You can update the part inventory details as needed. For example, a vendor no longer carries a brand of oil filters that your agency uses, but carries a different brand for the same type of an oil filter. In this case, go the part inventory, search for oil filter, and then change the brand in the part details.

   Calculate Type	Select the calculate type, Accela Civic Platform - Asset uses this type to calculate the average cost of the part: Simple Average: The average cost is equal to the sum of the unit cost of a current shipment and existing average cost, divided by two. Simple Average provides the average value of the existing average cost and the cost per unit of the current shipment. Weighted Average: This is the same as the Simple Average, but weighted by quantity.
