You can find your parts inventory under Maintenance > Inventory in the left-hand navigation.
Adding a part
Click + Add part and select Single part.
Enter your part number and click Validate part number. This step checks whether the part already exists in your account, so you don't accidentally create a duplicate.
If the part already exists, the system will fill in its details for you. You'll see a message saying "This part already exists. Add your team details below."
If it's a brand new part, you'll see "No existing part found. You are now creating a new part." Carry on to step 3.
Made a typo? Click Change part number to go back and try again.
Fill in the part details. The part name and part number is the only required field — but the more you add, the easier it is to find and manage your parts later.
Add your team's stock information. Parts in Whip Around are organized by team, so you'll need to add details for at least one team. This includes:
Stock on hand — how many you currently have
Reorder point — the stock level at which you want to be notified. When your stock on hand drops to this number, Whip Around will send you a low stock email alert. If stock hits zero, you'll get an out-of-stock alert instead.
Vendor and unit cost — who supplies this part and what you pay. If you add a vendor, you'll also need to enter a unit cost.
Need to add this part to more than one team? Click + Team at the bottom and fill in the details for each.
Tip: The same vendor can supply the same part to different teams at different prices — just add them separately under each team.
Team managers & mechanics: You'll only see the teams you manage or follow. If a part already exists but belongs to a team you're not part of, you won't see that team's details — but you can still add your own team's information.
Click Add part.
Adding multiple parts at once
If you have a large number of parts to add, you can upload them all at once using an excel file instead of adding them one by one. See Bulk uploading parts to inventory for step-by-step instructions.
