Brake Clinic Pagid/Textar Supersessions T here have been a lot of questions regarding supersessions from the network in recent weeks,

Supersessions are visible through K8 so you will see the following message

if you try to book out the Pagid 101 59 0348 (in this scenario):

so we have written an article illustrating what’s involved. Supersessions are placed against part numbers where the purchasing department have made a change based upon numerous factors. How does it work? The System will clear stock of the “Old” part number, before the “New” part numbers come into the profiling. This is to reduce the number of part numbers that are not selling and gathering dust. This in the long run, will reduce the number of excess stock that is held on a branch’s shelf and maintain a suitable profile for each individual branch, without clogging up space with redundant stock.

You need to supply the Textar reference. If you go through TopCat, you will see stock of the Textar, but not the Pagid:

This is down to the supersession chain. Never lose the sale, select the Textar part and sell it. You can see that the Textar part is actually cheaper than the Pagid version – this is because we wouldn’t want the customer to pay more for the part number that it is superseded to.
