- Users can click on the magnifying glass (upper right of window) to hide/unhide gross, cost and retention rate information.
- Users can no longer inadvertently open an Up twice causing a loss of data entered in the record in the foreground when the background record is closed and overwrites the changes.
- When a stock number is changed while working a deal, all of the rebate and dealer cash amounts are cleared to protect against inaccurate rebate use.
- An improved Payoff Authorization from is now included in Standard forms to print the additional information included in the updated payoff area.
Events Update
The date selected in Prospect Recent now carries over to Events.
A user can select an Action type such as All Actions, All Letters or All Emails or any individual action and get a listing of the Completed Actions or Incomplete Actions.
Standard Form “Full Disclosure” now prints a Discount amount. If there is none entered in the deal screen the Discount label is ommitted.
Lease Module
Major improvements have been made to the Leasing functions. Users now see dynamic re-calculations as figures are changed for term, miles, money factor or any of the variables used to calculate a lease. Option check boxes have been added to allow the inclusion of “trade Inequity”, First Payment and Security Deposit in the Cap Cost. Taxes on Cap Cost Reduction are calculated to reflect a credit when there is inequity in a trade (payoff reduction). Users also have high visibility of the components comprising the lease payment.
