What is hard here.
- Most part and distributor pairs sell in lumps. A method built for steady sales will chase the gaps.
- March carries year-end buying, and April pays for it.
- The distributor's order is what you see. The mechanic's need is what you want.
Try this in the demo.
- Open the Distributor tab and read the Method column.
- Compare Filters with Engine parts at distributor level.
- Read Accuracy by level. The finest level says how noisy it is.
