Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of determining non-reusable parts associated with replacement or repair of a primary part of a vehicle involved in a collision event. The primary parts to be repaired may be indicated in repair estimate record. Notably, replacement of some primary parts may require replacement of certain non-reusable parts (NRPs) that were not damaged during the collision event and are not identified as such. The method determines which NRPs are required to be replaced when repairing the primary damaged part by using repair documents specifying repair instructions for repairing the primary part. Further, the repair estimate record is updated to include the information related to the primary pars and their associated NRPs.
