Kobelco Parts Availability
The Kobelco Parts Availability interface retrieves part numbers and on-hand availability at the Kobelco distribution center (referred to by Kobelco as "Free Stock USA") and populates the Kobelco Parts Availability screen. After the initial load of all parts from the Kobelco server, changes are received every four hours throughout the day.
To access the Kobelco Parts Availability screen, from anywhere in IntelliDealer:
-
Navigate to Product Support > Parts > Parts Profile.
-
Search for parts, then click the Parts Availability button at the bottom of the screen.
-
Click Kobelco Availability.
