SERVICE MERCHANDISING

The New Service Program 31: Finalize Internal ROs

Service Merchandising Program 31: Finalize Internal ROs has a new enhancement and a new look. You will now be able to edit the G/L Numbers on the fly, finalize ROs, remove the finalized status, and add comments that transfer to the Accounting Module.

*The rollout is currently underway*

For detailed information and a “How To” document, visit the AMU Portal Message Center.

Schedule the Service End-of-Day Process and Run It Automatically

We have added an optional new feature in Service Merchandising that allows you to schedule the Service End-of-Day process and run it automatically after business hours. To activate (if you choose to use this feature), simply enter the run dates, times, and email addresses of dealer personnel (to receive confirmation/error emails) on the setup screen.

*The rollout is currently underway*

For detailed information and how to setup and use it, visit the AMU Portal Message Center.

 

CHRYSLER / FIAT DEALERS

Warranty Labor Time Guide Enhancement

The Chrysler Warranty Labor Time Guide enhancement includes many easy-to-use features like one-screen processing, a wiring repair location diagram, the ability to import multiple operation codes into the Detailed Labor Ops screen, and more.

*This enhancement is currently being released to all Chrysler / Fiat Dealers*

For detailed information and a “How To” document, visit the AMU Portal Message Center or search using keywords: New Chrysler LTG.

 

ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Vehicle Models & Deal Posting G/L Accounts Templates

Do you have to correct G/L Account Numbers when you post F&I Deals because you have G/L numbers postfixed with “*“? If you answered “yes”, then the New Vehicle Models & Deal Posting G/L Account Numbers Templates are the solutions for you.

*The rollout is scheduled to begin on June 20, 2017*

In the meantime, we have created documents that review the Features & Benefits as well as what to expect during activation. You can also view step-by-step setup instructions (if you choose to use this feature), and learn how to post F&I deals with templates. The documents are available on the AMU Portal Message Center.

Accounts Receivable Receipting

The New Accounts Receivable (A/R) Receipting feature, which is the replacement for the current Open Items Clearing (OIC) module, is now available to all dealers. If you are currently clearing your receivable accounts or plan to start using the OIC Module AND have the New Cash Receipts activated, then the A/R Receipting feature is ready for you to activate and start using.

*This feature is readily available for you to activate it*

We have created documents to illustrate what to expect during activation, step-by-step instructions on how to set up (if you choose to use this feature), and how to use it. The documents are available on the AMU Portal Message Center.

REV/MATE ONLINE APPOINTMENT ENHANCEMENT

Operation Code Description Override

This Rev/Mate application enhancement includes a new op-code description override feature. Op-code descriptions for online scheduled appointments will be replaced with the master file op-code complaint description if the op-code exists in the master file when the appointment is written in the Service Front End. Requested by multiple dealers, this new feature will display short descriptions on Rev/Mate for customers but provide a detailed description to advisors and technicians on the Repair Order.
