Overview
Shops can order all their parts for a given workfile from a single screen using Checkout. With Checkout, the shop can:

- Place orders electronically for multiple vendors at once
Checkout may be accessed from the workfile in either the desktop application or on cccone.com. To order parts through Checkout follow these steps:
- Open a workfile with replacements parts
- Select Checkout
- Check or uncheck the parts you wish to order
- When all purchasing decisions are complete, click Order Parts at the bottom of the screen
