This function enables you to use exchange parts for the exchange part process. When you add an exchange part to the order, such as a water pump, you can have the corresponding used part that the customer returns automatically added to the order. The exchange part can be a new or remanufactured part.

When parts are sold, there is frequently an extra charge that the customer gets back when they return a part after it has been used. This charge, often referred to as "core charge" or "core price", is meant to encourage rebuilding and recycling.
