A method for ordering parts for a machine being serviced within an
e-commerce environment transmits diagnostic data from a local computing
device at the machine to a host computing device via a network. A part to
be replaced within the machine is identified as a function of the
diagnostic data. A part identifier is determined as a function of the
part and retrofit information stored on the host computing device. The
part identifier is transmitted from the host computing device to an order
processing device.
