Computer Services Division, and since 1994 it has utilized ADP,
Inc., as its computer vendor. In addition to advising Mountain
State Ford and other heavy truck dealers of changes in the prices
of its parts through the periodic distribution of updated price
catalogs, each manufacturer provided to the computer vendors, at
about the same times it distributed such catalogs, computer-ready
mediums, such as magnetic tapes (computerized price update
tapes), which reflected such price changes.
Under its perpetual inventory recordkeeping system, Mountain
State Ford (1) added to its parts inventory the number of units
of each type of part that were delivered and returned to it and
(2) removed from its parts inventory the number of units of each
type of part that it sold. When Mountain State Ford received the
parts that it had ordered from a manufacturer, it also received a
computer-ready medium, such as a magnetic tape (shipping tape),
and packing sheets (packing sheets) that included a packing slip.
The shipping tape reflected the part number of each type of part
and the number of units of each such type that the manufacturer
had shipped, or had intended to ship, to Mountain State Ford, but
did not contain any information showing the prices that the
manufacturer charged Mountain State Ford for those parts.
Mountain State Ford used the shipping tape to enter into its
perpetual inventory recordkeeping system the part number and the
number of units of each type of part that the manufacturer
shipped, or intended to ship, to it.
