Vehicle Merchandising Posting Templates Rollout is Underway
Vehicle Merchandising Posting Templates allows you to create templates for different types of stocked-in vehicles and send them to Accounting based on certain criteria such as NewVehicle, UsedVehicle, CertifiedCar or Truck, along with their G/L and InventoryAccounts.
The enhancement is designed to convert your existing setup and function as it currently does with just a new posting screen look or allow you to create unlimited templates to eliminate the need to use “*” on the G/L setup screen.
The “How To…” user guide is now available on the AMU Portal Reference Center. Search using the keywords: VM Templates.
For those dealers that do not have the new Accounting G/L Inquiry (Program 31) activated, the rollout is underway.
The “How To…” user guide and tutorial videos are now available on the AMU Portal Reference Center. Search using the keywords: GL Inquiry.
