The FRV process enables the calculation and editing of the final residual value of a vehicle at any time during an agreement's lifecycle
New FRV values are required to be calculated automatically by the system using CAP data as a basis.
The remaining Depreciation would then be spread over the rest of the contract, using the following calculation:
Remaining Monthly Depn = Current NBV (Net Book Value) - New FRV / Remaining periods.
A new Final Residual Value (FRV) is may be recalculated at the following stages of an agreement:
There are two very important factors to be taken into consideration when the FRV is being calculated.
Safety factor application
The system offers the facility to apply a safety factor % reduction to CAP valuations at all points where the CAP valuation is called. These points are as follows:
- At initial quote stage
- At contract start
- At FRV review
- At informal extension.
- At transfer to VSB
Manual Adjustment
The system offers the facility to apply and record manual adjustments made to the quoted FRV. The manual adjustment is created at either quotation or contract upload and then remains with the vehicle throughout its life and taken into account whenever the FRV is recalculated.
- The adjustment cannot be changed at any revaluation stage.
The Create Batch Details option is a function that is part of the Annual FRV Review process. Annual FRV review is something of a misnomer as this process should be carried out at least on an annual basis but may be performed quarterly or monthly. An FRV Review Batch is generated using this menu option.
For a vehicle to be included in the batch and have a value, it must meet the following criteria:
- It must be Live
- It must have a valid Lease type i.e. the Include in FRV Review? checkbox must be ticked for all required Lease Types.
For a vehicle to have a value calculated and set to Automatic, the folowing criteria must be met:
- It must have a valid VARIANT code
- It must have have a Registration Date
- It must have a Contract mileage not equal to zero
The valuation source is based on:
- Black/Red Book if End date minus today is less than 12 months
- Monitor if end date minus today is greater than 12 months
- Blank if Manual
The system calculates a Proposed FRV for each eligible vehicle (see above) and updates the Vehicle motor record with the following:
- The Proposed FRV.
- The Valuation source. Either CAP New Monitor or CAP Black Book or CAP Red Book
- The CAP valuation Month and Year.
- Review Type. If a Proposed FRV can be calculated automatically then the system populates this field with Automatic, else Manual.
- Sets FRV under review to Yes
The Export Batch Details option is then used to generate a file to the local PC drive for vehicles affected by the Create Batch Details process.
