5.8  Parts table

This mask field shows the technical drawing ("graphics") of the table and the details of the components shown.

The technical drawing and the list of parts are connected so that when moving the cursor over the parts list, the position of the part selected is shown on the drawing with a red square.

 

Fig. 21: Hot-spot

 

The meaning of the various visual components that make up the mask field is explained below.

 

Fig. 22: Drawing

 

A – Table heading. Contains the following information:

 

»      the number of the current table and the total number of tables available for the current selection.

»      Buttons for moving to the previous/next table (“<<” and “>>”).

»      List of tables available for the current selection. It is possible to select a table directly by opening the list and clicking on the code.

»      List of variants in a table with possible "validity" (specifications for which the variant is valid, e.g. "CC1.4 = 1400 cc engine"). It is possible to display the decoding of the validity codes by moving the pointer over the "bulb" icon = .

»      List of table revisions.

 

Note: in the table heading it is possible to make the connection “Menu” to open the "Fast menu" panel displayed on the right of each  ePER page.

 

B – Drawing. The following icons for managing the display are shown at the top left:

 

»      = zoom-in: makes the drawing larger. Select the part of the graphics you are interested in using the right button of the mouse.

»      = zoom-out:  makes the drawing smaller.

»      = restores the picture to its predefined dimensions.

 

 

C –  List of parts

This part of the mask field displays the detailed information about the products linked to a specific table of the current Catalogue.

Any instructions for use and any validity, optional equipment, modifications, etc. are present for each product allowing the user to select, relating to the reference number, which product code is used for a specific vehicle.

 

When some spare parts are displayed in light grey with the writing crossed out, this means that, on the basis of the previous vehicle specification selections (e.g.: engine versions, L/R hand drive, production date, etc.), the corresponding product is not compatible with the actual vehicle.

By clicking on a product code the information relating to the price list and any replacements is displayed. Use the "X" at the top right to close the window.

It is possible to display the description of the codes of the specifications displayed by moving the cursor over the actual codes, as in the example that follows:

Column in the list of parts

 

1 -  Selector for adding to the basket

This field usually contains a box used for marking the products to add to the basket. If the icon  is displayed in place of the box this means that the product cannot be ordered. In this case, place the mouse cursor over the icon for more specific information.

 

By clicking the 'Add to basket' button the system puts all the products selected in the table into the basket.

 

 

 

2 - Position number

This number indicates the position of the product in the corresponding graphic table. The specific parts code is marked with a red square on the drawing when the mouse is moved over the line of the part code.

 

3 - Product code ("Code").

This is the product ordering code. By clicking on this field in the lower part of the window the detailed information about the price list for the product and any replacements the product has been affected by are displayed.

 

4 - Description

Description of the product

 

5 - Compatibility

This field contains any information defining the applicability of the product based on the particular vehicle specifications.

For example: the engine type (e.g. M5), the version (e.g. V12), the presence of optional equipment (e.g. 009 = air conditioning), the type of drive (e.g. GD = right hand drive), etc.

 

The validity codes can be grouped in formulae through the use of the following characters:

 

‘,’ (comma) which means ‘or’

‘+’ (plus) which means ‘in combination with’

‘!’ (exclamation mark) which means 'without'

 

For the correct interpretation of the field we are enlcosing some examples of formulae and their meaning:

 

M1,M2 : product only application to engine types M1 or M2

V1+009: product only applicable to version V1 in combination with optional equipment 009 = air conditioning

GD+(M1,M3): product applicable to vehicles with right hand drive and engine type M1 or M3

!008: product only application to vehicles WITHOUT remote control for opening/closing the doors. 

 

By placing the mouse cursor over the code the system will display the description. Use the  icon at the side of the list of tables to display the descriptions of all the codes used on the page.

 

6 - Modifications

This field contains any information defining the applicability of the product based on the modifications made to the current vehicle model.

Each modification is defined by a 4 digit number (e.g. 5584) preceded by the letter 'C' or 'D', where:

 

'C' indicates that the product has been eliminated following the implementation of the modification

 

'D' indicates that the product has been introduced following the implementation of the modification

 

The implementation of a modification can be indicated with a date, an engine number or a chassis number. By placing the mouse cursor over the code for a modification, the system will display the description and the implementation information through a popup window.

 

7 - Quantity

Number of product units used.

 

8 - Notes

This field contains the code of a note containing additional information on the product. By placing the mouse cursor over the  icon the system will display the contents as a whole.

 

 9 - Compound part.

When the  icon is present this means that the related product is composed of a series of component parts. By clicking on the  icon it is possible to access the detailed window and the components table.

 

10 - Colours.

Colours. This field may contain any colour codes on which the product depends (for example in the cover subgroups).

 

11 - Reconditioned / ‘Scrap`.

In this field it is possible to display the "reconditioned" product code equivalent to the 'new' product and the code allocated to the original product to replace, also known as 'scrap' (see example below).

D – List of graphics. This area contains the list of all the images (in reduced format) that have been previously requested by the user. According to the selections made in the Group and Subgroup selection windows, this area may contain:

 

»      List of all the graphics for the tables for a group (e.g. 274)

»      List of all the graphics for the tables for a subgroup (e.g. 27404)

»      List of all the graphics for a specific table (variants and revisions) (e.g. 27404/01)

 

By moving the mouse over each image the system displays an enlarged preview of the graphics, number and description of the table and any variant and/or revision.

This list may contain numbers images that can be displayed by using the sliding bar under the list.
