Inherited Part

We have introduced a new feature in the PCFitment, “Inherited Parts”. It means whenever you need the same fitments across multiple parts, you do not need to add fitments in all parts. Just add a part and its fitments and add the inherited part like below.

Before you begin, please note: The part you wish to add as an "Inherited Part" must not have any existing fitments.

• If the part is new, you can proceed immediately.
• If the part already exists in your account and has fitments, you must delete those fitments before you can link it as an inherited part.
  
   

Step 1: Select Your Parent Part

1. Navigate to My Parts & Fitment.

2. Locate the part that contains the master list of fitments (this will be your "Parent Part").

   
   

3. Click on the part to open the Part Information page.

Step 2: Access the Inherited Parts Tab

1. On the Part Information page, you will see several tabs (Fitments, Inherited Parts, eBay Specific, etc.).
2. Click on the Inherited Parts tab.

Note: The screen will display a notice reminding you that fitments for inherited parts are controlled entirely by this main parent part.

Step 3: Add an Inherited Part

There are two ways to add a part here, depending on whether the part already exists in your system or if it is brand new.

Option A: Add an Existing Part

1. Select the Part Type (Required) from the dropdown menu.
2. In the Manufacturer Part Number field, type to search for the part you want to link.
3. Select the part number.
4. Click the green Add button.
   • Result: The part will appear in the grid below. It is now linked.

 
Option B: Create and Add a New Part (New Feature)

 If the part doesn't exist in your system yet, you can create it right from this screen:

1. Select the Part Type.
2. Click the Blue Plus (+) button next to the Manufacturer Part Number field.

3. A pop-up window labeled "Add Part & Fitments" will appear.
   
   
4. Fill in the required details:
   • Manufacturer Part Number
   • Brand Name
   • ASIN (if applicable)
5. Click Add Part.
6. Now,  Select the Part Type (Required) from the dropdown menu.
7. In the Manufacturer Part Number field, type to search for the part you want to link.
8. Select the part number.
9. Click the green Add button.
   1. Result: The part will appear in the grid below. It is now linked.

When you open the Inherited Part, it will show a window like below.[ eg here i open the part number f-34

How to Manage Fitments for Inherited Parts

Once a part is linked as "Inherited," you cannot edit its fitments directly.

1. If you click on an Inherited Part to view its details, you will see a banner message:
   "Fitments for Part# [Name] are inherited from Parent Part# [Parent Name]."
2. To Make Changes:
   • You must go back to the Parent Part.
   • Add, Update, or Delete fitments on the Parent Part.
   • These changes will automatically reflect on ALL linked inherited parts instantly.

Key Benefits

• Add fitments once to the Parent Part, and all linked parts update automatically.
• Keeps fitment data identical across all product variations (e.g., colors/sizes).
• Any update to the Parent Part is instantly applied to all inherited parts.
• Eliminates the risk of missing updates on individual part variations.

Once you submit all the fitments to Amazon & Walmart, all inherited parts will be submitted with their parent part fitments.
