Options

  • NO (default)
    The customer credit limit is enforced, and the user cannot override it.

  • YES
    Open direct sales and RO invoices display a button that users can click to override the customer’s credit limit. If the user clicks the button, the program prompts the user to enter a username, PIN, and the reason for the override.

Options

  • NO (default)
    Users must close the Complete RO within the RO before closing the invoice.

Options

  • NO (default)

  • YES
    The invoice will be automatically generated only when the RO is set to Closed.

Invoicing
Calculate Invoice Tax Based On Vendor From Vendor RO

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

For invoices created from a Vendor RO, the program calculates tax on Vendor Lines based on the vendor tax on the Vendor RO. It does not use the Repair Shop or Customer tax rules.

Options

  • NO (default)
    The program calculates taxes on Invoices created from Vendor ROs based on the normal invoicing business rules.

  • YES
    The program calculates taxes on Vendor Lines according to the vendor tax on the Vendor RO.

Additional notes

  1. This option applies to the Application and Shop levels.

  2. Shop lines (non-vendor) for Parts, Labor, and Services use normal invoice tax calculations. Shop or Customer tax rules apply.

Invoicing
Consolidate Part Numbers with Same Price on Repair Invoice
First available in TMT Fleet Maintenance V.2020.2

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

By default, Repair order invoices create a separate line for each part, even if those parts are the same. Use this option to have repair order invoices combine these lines.

Options

  • NO
    Each part listed in the Repair Order invoice appears on a separate line. This is true for duplicate parts.

  • YES (default)
    When parts have the same part number and the same price, the Repair Order invoice consolidates these lines into one.

Additional notes

  1. This option does not apply to Tire Parts with the Tire Module.

  2. This option does not apply to negative part lines.

  3. You cannot change a part quantity to a number below the repair order quantity. If you try, the system displays an error message, and it does not allow you to change the quantity.

  4. This option applies to the Application and Shop Option levels.

    • You can overwrite this option at the Shop Option level. The system looks for the setting first the Shop Option level and then at the Application Option level.

      If the program finds a setting on the lowest level (Shop options in this case), it applies the setting and stops looking. In other words, if you apply this setting at a lower level, the program ignores settings at higher levels.

Invoicing
Default Billable To Y On Repair Order Sections

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

This option marks all sections on repair orders as billable.

Options

  • NO
    Users must manually mark sections as billable for them to be invoiced.

  • YES (default)
    The program marks all sections on repair orders as billable by default.

Additional notes

If you select YES, the program sets the Customer level option to YES too, unless there is an existing manual change at the Customer level. Every section created on a repair order for those customers is marked as billable. Since you can only invoice those RO sections marked as billable, clearing this option at the Customer level requires that users manually mark a section as billable before they can invoice it for that customer.

  1. This option only appears on ROs with customers. If the RO does not have a customer, the RO Section always shows billable as not selected.

  2. If a user clears this option at the Shop level, new RO Sections created in that shop are not marked billable regardless of the value of Billable Default to Y set on the Customer level.

    Examples:

    • Application Value = Selected, Shop 01 = Cleared.

      • Billable defaults to cleared for any section created on any RO with a customer created in Shop 01.

      • Billable defaults to selected for any section created on any RO with a customer in all other shops.

    • Application Value = Cleared, Shop 01 = Selected, all other shops = Cleared, Customer 1 = Selected, Customer 2 = Cleared.

      • New ROs created in Shop 01 for customer 1 have billable selected.

      • New ROs created in Shop 01 for Customer 2 have billable cleared.

      • New RO Sections created in any shop other than Shop 01 have billable cleared for both customers.

        • You can overwrite this option at the Shop Option and Customer Option levels. The system looks for the setting first at the Customer Options level (the lowest level), the Shop Options level next, and finally at the Application Option level (the highest level).

          If the program finds a setting on the lowest level, it applies the setting and stops looking. If there is no setting on the lowest level, the program looks to the next level, and so on. In other words, if you apply settings at a lower level, the program ignores settings at higher levels.

          There is one exception to this rule: If you set the Shop Options level Default Billable To Y On Repair Order Section to NO, that overrides any settings you have at the Customer Option level.

Invoicing
Prompt For Rebill Reason For Repairs

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

This option applies when a user assign a mechanic to a Repair Order that has a unit assigned to the customer.

Options

  • NO (default)
    The Rebill feature is turned off.

You can overwrite this option at the Shop Option and Customer Option levels. The system looks for the setting first at the Customer Options level (the lowest level), the Shop Options level next, and finally at the Application Option level (the highest level).

If the program finds a setting on the lowest level, it applies the setting and stops looking. If there is no setting on the lowest level, the program looks to the next level, and so on. In other words, if you apply settings at a lower level, the program ignores settings at higher levels.

Additional notes

This option is affected by the Enforce Credit Limits option. If Enforce Credit Limits is set to YES and a customer has a credit limit:

  1. You must create an invoice estimate when you make repair orders for a customer. This happens even if Require Customer Estimate On Repair Order is set to NO.

  2. The system looks at the customer’s credit limit when you add the repair order line. If the invoice estimate will put the customer over their limit, you cannot add the line. An error message will open.

Example

Assume you have Enforce Credit Limits set to YES. Customer A has a credit limit of $200.

  • Customer A has two unpaid invoices totaling $175.

  • You start a repair order for Customer A and enter $100 as the estimate.

  • Your new repair order would take Customer A’s total to $275, which is $75 over their credit limit.

  • The program displays an error message. You cannot add the new repair order.

Additional notes

You can overwrite this option at the Shop Option and Customer Option levels. The system looks for the setting first at the Customer Options level (the lowest level), the Shop Options level next, and finally at the Application Option level (the highest level).

If the program finds a setting on the lowest level, it applies the setting and stops looking. If there is no setting on the lowest level, the program looks to the next level, and so on. In other words, if you apply settings at a lower level, the program ignores settings at higher levels.

Invoicing: Labor Time

These settings are located in the Invoicing: Labor Time section on the Application Options page.

Invoicing: Labor Time
Sum Labor By Job Code

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

Labor will be summed based on the job code. A job code can have the following types of times set up on the job code master:

  • Flat Rate

  • SRT Time

  • User-Entered Estimated Time

  • Estimated Time

When summing job codes on the invoice, the system checks the job code master and does the following:

  • The system uses Flat Rate unless there is no Flat Rate time.

  • If there is no Flat Rate time, the system will use SRT Time.

  • If there is no SRT Time, the system will use user-entered estimated time, which was entered when the assignment was created.

  • If the user did not enter estimated time, the system will use the estimated time setup on the job code master.

  • If there is no estimated time for the job code, the system will use the sum of the labor hours on the section and create a line with the description for the job code.

  • If a section does not have any job codes, a single line for the total labor hours on the section will be created on the invoice.

If two or more different job codes exist on a section, the invoice will contain each job code and the time for each job code based upon the Flat Rate, SRT Time, or estimated time rules described above.

If two or more of the same job codes exist for a section, the invoice will contain a single labor line for that job code and the time will be based upon the Flat Rate, SRT Time, or estimated time rules described above with the time being for a single job (not a sum of the time for the multiple job codes).

Note: If the same job code exists on two assignments on a repair section and the user has entered estimated time on one of the assignments containing that job code but not the other assignment, the system will treat this as two different job codes. Both assignments would have to have the same user-entered estimated time for the system to recognize this as the same job code.

Options

  • NO (default)
    Uses Sum Labor By Pay Grade.

  • YES
    Labor will be summed based on the job code.

Additional notes

Note on Labor Cost:

If Actual cost for labor is used on the Invoice Price Table for the customer; the highest labor rate for each section will be used as the cost basis for all labor time on that section.

This option is unchecked and turned off if either Sum Labor By Pay Grade Type or Make Minimum Labor Line A Separate Line is checked. This option is controlled at the Global, Shop, and Customer level.

This option can be overridden at the Shop Option and Customer Option levels.

The system looks for the setting at the Customer Options level first, the Shop Options level next, then at the Application Option level.

If the Customer Options are set differently from the Shop Options or Application Options settings, or the Shop Options are set differently from the Application Options, they become independent of the next level settings. Changing the Application Options does not sync the Customer Options or the Shop Options.

A Part Charge line will be created for the total marked up part charges and a Fluids Charge line will be created for the total marked up fluid charges. If the part total or fluid total exceeds the max value for that line type, an additional line will be created for any part overage or any fluid overage. A Labor line will be created that is the difference between the Marked Up Parts total and the fixed price. Any service lines on the RO Section will be brought over and marked up as appropriate.
