You need to be on the Home or "splash" screen for those menu choices to become usable.

I meant to tell you to click the WIP button to toggle WIP to splash.

Okay, got it. Issue now is that I would like to add a parts distribtor (Bumper to Bumper) and there's no 'aftermarket catalog support' for them.

I kind of figured you needed more information to complete the task.... :wink:

Let's confirm that you are using Manager Plus 6.4? You need to know which type of connectivity they want you to use to order parts; for B2B you need one of these choices:
Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper IAP Catalog
Bumper to Bumper MyPlaceForParts Catalog

Were you told anything specifically? There are catalog installers that put additional choices in this catalog availability window. Once you confirm which you are supposed to use, go here: http://m1faqs.com/fix/SE/catalogs/
Close Manager first and then run the installer; only takes a few seconds to run.

That turns the button on, then you need to create a linked vendor record with your B2B username/password so that the software knows what to do when you click the button.
