There are two options in which to stock units into your Blackpurl
Option 1 - Preferred Method
This option is a requirement if your Dealership has Accounting Integration
The correct way would be to process a Unit Vendor Order / Vendor Receiving to stock units - these links will take you to the relevant articles on this process:
- (New Version) How to Process a Unit Order (Single Unit Order or Bulk Unit Orders)
- (New Version) How to process a Unit Receiving (Single Unit Receiving or Bulk Unit Receiving)
Option 2 - Not Recommended
The other option is to use the Add Unit functionality
We would only recommend that this option is only used:
- at the activation phase or shortly thereafter to add units that missed the activation data load
OR
- if you do not have Accounting Integration at the Dealership so you don't need the action of sending Unit Vendor Invoices across to an accounting package
If your Dealership wishes to use this Option 2 - Add Unit functionality and your Dealership has Accounting Integration, read on:
- From the Blackpurl Header > Sales - Inventory -
-
- The Create Stock Unit window will pop up along with a Warning window which you will need to acknowledge by reading and then clicking
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF USING THIS METHOD OF STOCK UNITS BEFORE CLICKING
- BP will NOT integrate a Unit Vendor Tax Invoice over to your accounting for the Dealership to pay on
- It will only send over a journal entry to your accounting package that will modify your Inventory with an offsetting entry to your Stock Adjustment General Ledger
- This means that your Accountant / Bookkeeper will need to clear the Stock Adjustment General Ledger of these entries
- Once you have read and clicked
over the warning, just start from the top of the Create Stock Unit window and add the details of the Stock Unit.
- Once you have finished, don't forget to click on
Result:
- The unit will be added as a stock unit into Blackpurl
- If your Dealership does have Accounting Integration and you selected to add your Stock using Option 2, a journal entry will be processed to your accounting package
Debit - Unit Inventory General Ledger
Credit - Stock Adjustment General Ledger
We would suggest that if you are going to add in stocked unit through Option 2, that you bring it to the attention of your accountant / bookkeeper
As they will need to ensure that you are not duplicating inventory entries in your accounting package, to clear out your Stock Adjustment General Ledger and they look after balancing your Blackpurl to the accounting package
