This will show you how to create, amend and add a DFA to a vehicle order

Create a DFA

To create a DFA you will need to do the following:
  • Go into Car Sales
  • Go into Vehicle Groups
  • Click on the number you want to add this to i.e. 1 - Nissan
  • Click on Add Cost at the bottom of this screen
  • You will then be presented with the screen below
    • Description - This is what you want it to show on the vehicle, order and Invoice i.e. Mudflaps
    • Control Account - This can be left blank and it will use the standard DFA codes in the , but if you want this to go to a different Nominal Code then this is where you will enter this
    • Resale Type - You have 4 options for this
      • 0 - Cost Only   -   This type should be chosen if the item is a cost only item, e.g. PDI or prep on used vehicle.  The item will not appear in the accessories list on a sales order.
      • 1 - Include in All   -   This type should be chosen if it is always sold on a vehicle, e.g Delivery on new vehicles. The item will automatically appear with default sale value on all sales of vehicles attached to this vehicle group. The sale value can be amended at point of sale.
      • 2 - Optional   -  This type should be chosen if the item is optional, e.g. any item not always included in a sale. Most items on the list will be set at type 2
      • 3 - Not in Use   -   This type should be set against an item when it is no longer to be used. You should not delete the item otherwise archived vehicles will not have access and viewing an old sale may give you error messages.
    • Default Cost - If the DFA has a standard/default cost value then instead of keep keying this in each time, you can set a default cost so it appears by default every time you post the cost
    • Default Sales - This is only active if there is a sales element in the Resales Type i.e. 1 & 2 (it will not be active on 0 as this is a Cost only DFA). If the DFA has a standard/default sales value then instead of keep keying this in each time, you can set a default sales value so it appears by default every time you post the cost
    • VAT Rate - This is where you enter the VAT element of the cost i.e. RFL will be Exempt from VAT so you can set it as E - Exempt
    • Category - You can have categories set on each DFA which you can set up in Car Sales > Parameters > Table Setup > Vehicle Tables > DFA Category
    • Include in Vehicle Purchase - This can be ticked if it is always applicable when a vehicle is purchased by default i.e. Delivery Charges. This will then be prompted at the time of receiving the vehicle in (when it asks for the purchase value of the vehicle)
    • The Lock Sales Price, Lock Sales Description and Include on Order/Invoice when Zero will only be activated if there is a sales element to the DFA i.e. 1 & 2
    • Generate Requisition - This is where the system will send over a requisition to the workshop department by default if this is ticked and if the DFA is entered onto a vehicle.  This is only active if 1 & 2 resale types are entered
  • Once you have completed the above, Click on Save
  • You can then repeat the process for any others you need to
