Creating Add-On Codes

The first step in setting up add-ons is creating the add-on codes that can be assigned to items. The items that add-on codes are assigned to are called parent items. When parent items are sold, the add-on codes prompt TireMaster to automatically include additional items on work orders.

To create an add-on code

1. From the Inventory menu, select Add-On Codes. The Add-On Code List appears.

2. Click New Code. The Add-On Header Edit screen appears.

3. Type a two-character code in the Add-On Code field.

Note: Once you click OK, this code cannot be changed.

Tip: Name add-on codes based on the type of parent items they’ll be assigned to, such as light-truck tires. This naming method helps others understand which add-on codes to assign to parent items.

4. Type a description for the add-on code.

5. Click OK. Now you can associate items with the new add-on code. For more information, see Associating Items with Add-On Codes.
