A pair of system controls affect your work flow for using the fitment guide:

With the control Fitment Guide - Skip Inventory Lookup (Inventory tab), you can define whether the tire selected on the fitment guide’s Matching Items list should be added directly to a quote or work order. This control is set to Yes by default. If you set it to No, TireMaster will always prompt you to look up an item regardless of whether a tire has already been selected in the fitment guide.

With Fitment Guide - Use Size for Search (Inventory tab), you can define whether the tire size identified by the fitment guide should be automatically entered in the Size Range field on the Custom Inventory Lookup Screen. When the control is set to No, the size is entered as a quick look code instead. Regardless of how the control is set, the tire size identified by the fitment guide is displayed near the bottom of the Custom Inventory Lookup screen.

For more information, see Inventory Controls.

The fitment guide includes air pressure and torque recommendations from vehicle manufacturers. This information can be printed on work orders and invoices.
