Supplier Guide Parts Quoted This is the first page you will see when you log in. From this page, you are able to view your APU stats for the past 90 days, all claims quoted on month to date, and also view any pending purchase orders. A large gray box is located directly underneath the weekly calendar. This can be used to sort parts quoted in a number of ways. 1. Sort by Date: Claims are searchable by the date on which the claim was originally submitted. Although the start and end date will default to the current month to date, a supplier may open the date field to their preference. Enter any start and/or end date by clicking on the small calendar icon on the right side of the date fields. Once selected, click on submit to begin query. Results display with a claim number that is linked to the original claim. 2. Sort by Part: Claims are also searchable based upon the parts a supplier fulfilled requested quotes for. After selecting a date range, a supplier may select a specific part to complete a search on. APU will search all claims within the date range and display any claims containing one or more quoted parts from the supplier s inventory. Results will display with a claim number containing a link to the original claim. 3. Sort by Year: Claims may be searched by the model year of the repairable vehicle claim submitted through APU. A supplier simply selects a year, reviews the date range, and selects submit to start the search. Results display with claim number that is linked to the original claim. 4. Sort by Year and Model: A supplier may choose year and make to complete a search on. A supplier chooses a year and make from the drop down menus, reviews the current date range, and selects
submit. Results will display with a claim number that is linked to the original claim. A year must be selected before a make can be selected 5. Sort by Year, Make, and Model: A supplier may run a query on vehicle by year, make, and model. A supplier selects a year, make, and the appropriate model, reviews the date range and selects submit. Results will display with a claim number that is linked to the original claim. A year must be selected before a make can be selected and a make must be selected before a model can be selected. 6. APU Quote Number: An APU Quote # is generated for every staff or body shop claim submitted through APU. APU users are asked to reference the APU Quote # when contacting part suppliers. A supplier simply enters the entire APU quote number within the quote number field and selects submit. This will display the claim #, which is linked to the original claim. APU Quote Number: When we auto-match your parts to staff adjusters or repair shops within APU, we generate an APU Quote #. You will see a box located in the lower right hand corner of the main page underneath the calendar. This is where you will enter the APU Quote #. Once you enter the APU Quote # in the box and click the Submit button, we will display all parts that you quoted on, and all relevant information on those parts requests.
