How to process a Quote for a Temporary Unit

An existing customer Jaxon Price is looking for a quote on a unit that the dealership doesn't have in stock

Our customer is also looking to add proposed options to the quote and have a trade in

Remember that at the moment our customer is not committing to anything but is only after a price

From the Blackpurl Header - Click

To select a customer, click on to open up the Select Customer section for your search options

The Select an existing customer functionality will allow you to search by keywords ie surname / first name / mobile number / email address etc

As you start typing your search keyword, the system will start listing the search results that match. Then click on your selection

In our example our customer is Jaxon Price (existing customer) and we start the customer search using his surname as the keyword

Click on your selected customer

If your customer does not exist, simply click on and complete the Create New Customer fields

After selecting your customer, select what type of Customer Order:

SELL PARTS & ACCESSORIES
START A SERVICE OR REPAIR JOB

B.	Total Price This is the price that you are charging the Customer for the Unit
C.	Total Cost This is the cost of the unit to the Dealership
D.	Add a factory option as required
E.	Set Temporary unit will save these details

Australia / New Zealand - your pricing screen will look like this:

F.	Enforce rideaway pricing Should you wish to use this feature, just enable the toggle This will then require you to add the rideaway pricing Remember that rideaway pricing means that you are saying that all options / fees / unit will fall under the rideaway price If this is enabled then you will be not required to add in a Total Price H.
G.	Stamp Duty If you have Stamp Duty already setup as an automatic setting, it will calculate the figure for you OR you can add the amount of Stamp Duty as required
H.	Total Price This is the price that you are charging the Customer for the Unit
I.	Total Cost This is the cost of the unit to the Dealership

Once you have completed the unit and pricing details, the system will populate the Temporary Unit Details in the Unit Deal

6. Add any proposed Options & Fees that are being quoted with the unit by clicking in Scan and search to add

items field and searching for them

For example our customer may be looking to add another type of muffler to the unit and want the dealership to do the install at the time of purchasing the unit

In that instance you would search for the relevant muffler (ensuring we make sure the Install toggle is green)

** The system will advise the availability of stock of any part that was added at the time of processing this quotation BUT will not commit the stock to this quotation

Repeat this step for each part / fee / labour that is getting quoted with the unit until all the items that you are quoting on are listing in the Options & Fees section

7. If customer is looking for a quote for another unit, click User-added image in the Deal actions

section and it will add a Unit 2 section - Go to Step 5 to complete details for the 2nd unit

If they are looking to trade in more than 1 trade, Repeat this step for each trade in unit you need to add to the Unit Deal

9. In the Checkout section see the status of the Deal (QUOTE) and how much the Deal has been calculated

for all units, all parts, labour and fees as well as it takes into consideration any trade ins
