Overview

Overview

Some dealers will give their customers credit for test copies run by the technician, it's important that the credit be at the correct rate.

eAuto has auto increases for overage rates, but not on credit rates causing discrepancies over time. When using the overage method of 'Allowance with credits', your overage rate can be set to auto increase (via Contract Overage Rate Schedule), but the credit rate doesn't auto increase alongside the set overage rate. 

This process will tell you about those contracts so you can fix. 

 

Run Schedule:  Weekday Afternoons

Type of Output: Email

3. Alert will be limited to 250 records each time it sends out and will only report on those records once. Each following weekday it will report on another new qualifying 250 records. For example, if you have 900 qualifying records when you first subscribe on a Monday, you will get an email with the first 1-250 records, then on Tuesday you will get records 251-500, on Wed they'll get 501-750, Thurs 751-900, then on Friday if nothing new has qualified you won't receive anything.

4. If requested, we can set alert to send ALL qualifying records in one email. We can even leave the alert in that mode so each day it will send ALL qualifying records (instead of no longer reporting records it has already reported the day before).
