The Option RV Uplift Record form is accessed by way of Fleet Quotations / Miscellaneous Options / Data Import / Residual Value Uplift Table. A single-right-click on any row within this grid then displays a sub-menu and selection of the Create Option Record or Edit Option Record options displays this form.
Some leasing companies require the facility to allocate vehicle manufacturer options to a category that contains a residual % uplift. This allows them to quote competitively for vehicles with value added optional extras.
Within this form the option category is allocated along with the % uplift and also any upper limit for a residual value, (if this is set to £200 then regardless of what residual value is calculated the residual is set at £200 for that option i.e. the maximum value).
The form is split into the following three areas.
In addition to displaying the form name the Title Bar provides a number of useful buttons.
This area of the form contains a number fields and command buttons as follows:
The option type code i.e. Factory, Dealer or Pack. The drop-down-arrow button allows selection of the appropriate type.
Part of the CAP data set includes an option category file and a factory option to category cross-reference file. The file cgtext is supplied as part of the NVPO data set and contains a category code and description. This file determines the categories for factory fitted options for cars.
This is the category code to which the option belongs. An
button is displayed immediately to the right of this field to enable selection from existing categories.
Note: This process is dependent upon the Franchise Data import routine initially allocating e.g. Category 58 (Metallic Paint) against the relevant options in the build spec grid. This data is a property of the CAP data import.
For a particular option category a residual value percentage is held which is then applied to the residual value of the vehicle when a quotation is generated.
This column holds a value which places an upper ceiling on the maximum residual value that can be generated. If this is set to £200 then regardless of what residual value is calculated the residual is set at £200 for that option i.e. the maximum value)
A free format comment area which may be used to define why the uplift has been allocated to the option, etc.
