I don't know ADP well but I know ERA very well. I assume the IO transactions are similar between the 2 systems.
Assuming they are, I always recommended against IO as performing a manual receipt would allow for better tracking. With a manual receipt, you can record the vendor and invoice # you purchased the part on. Then using the various transaction journals, you could see where the part came from (what dealer) and on what invoice.
Perhaps when you do an IO on ADP, you can record this information?
If you can't, the method the new dealer is using might be better in the long term since there is more tracking information.
Again, this post is based on my ERA knowledge and my assumption that ADP works in a similar manner.
