ABPA PartsLink® Data Updates

Save Time and Energy maintaining 80,000 parts in the PartsLink® Database!

If you sell auto body crash parts, then you are undoubtedly familiar with the moutain of work it is to keep your parts list accurate — with several hundred new or changed parts each month!

The Auto Body Parts Association (ABPA) PartsLink Division takes time each month to maintain a listing of over 80,000 parts by

  • Assigning new, unique industry standard PartsLink numbers to 100’s of new part applications–for each year, make, and model that each part fits.
  • Updating OEM Price Changes
  • Updating OEM Part Number changes (supercesions)
  • Updating the part status (is it still being manufactured by the OEM, etc)
  • Auto Body Suppliers can download a fresh copy of the entire database (or just the items that are new or changed)

    ABPA Members pay $250 per month, and nonmembers pay $350 per month

    OneSource Customers receive a special price of only $225 per month (for an annual subscription agreement), regardless of ABPA membership status.

OneSource Customers keep their parts lists up to date with only a few mouse clicks by combining their PartsLink Subscription with the OneSource PartsLink Integration Wizard.

The OneSource Partlink Integration Wizard make it easy to keep your parts list up to date.

Automated ‘PartsLink’ Importing/Updating

Using the OneSource PartsLink Integration Wizard (with OneSource Software), if your company has a current subscription to the ABPA PartsLink data service you can quite literally — in a matter of a few mouse clicks — perform all of the following:
  • View a list of all NEW PartsLink parts added to the PartsLink list (since you last added or imported PartsLink parts)
  • View a list of all CHANGED PartsLink parts (since you last added or imported PartsLink parts)
  • Automatically import and create NEW Parts in OneSource (including new Part Numbers, and a sperate, searchable ‘application’ for each Year, Make, and Model that the car fits–regardless of how many vehicles the part fits).
  • Automatically EXCLUDE (from the Import or Update process) any Makes & Models and/or any part types (PartsLink PTypes) that you do not wish to stock or sell.
  • Automatically Add an additional, separate part # for CAPA Certified parts that you wish to stock or sell.
  • Automatically UPDATE your existing parts (in OneSource–those that have a PartsLink # or EOM # assigned to them) for any OEM # supercesions, OEM Price changes, any parts that are no longer being manufactured by the OEM, and any changes to the Year Range that the part will fit.

    Automated Insurance Quotes Export Files
