The Parts Comment Indicator is a feature that alerts users when a part has an associated comment, allowing for swift access to the comment connected to the part. This feature is beneficial to the Parts Counter, Parts Manager, and Fixed Operations, and is accessible on any part grid within VUE.
Use the Parts Comment Indicator:
- When documenting recalls
- Suggesting alternative parts when items are unavailable
- Conveying any additional necessary information relating to that part

Comments on parts are visible on the Parts Desk, Parts Invoice, and Back Counter screens, where any notes or important information associated with a specific part can be easily accessed and viewed.
Viewing a Part Comment

If you see the 
icon next to a part, it indicates that a comment is linked to the part. When hovering over the icon it displays "Part Comment"
