Selection of Residual Value Copy (accessed via the Miscellaneous Options / Residual Values Management Menu) presents the Residual Value Copy form.
This form is utilised to copy the residual value tables from the "live" area of the system (from which quotations and ratesbooks values are accessed) to the "data processing" (DP) area where the values are manipulated. Once the values have been satisfactorily adjusted the reverse procedure is then carried out. This may be done by searching at Manufacturer, Model and Variant level.
This form is split into four parts, which are as follows:
In addition to displaying the form name the Title Bar provides a number of useful buttons.

The residual value copy area consists of the following data selection options:
The Kestrel system is able to hold residual values from a multiplicity of data sources. This field is used to select the required data source values to be copied. Selection of the down arrow presents a drop-down list of data sources currently available to the system e.g. D David Henley Systems.
These are two mutually exclusive option buttons which force a definite selection as to the movement direction for the residual value tables.
From DP to Live
Copies the data from the "data processing" area of the system (where it may be manipulated by way of the Residual Manipulation or Residual Value Group Management routines) to the "live" area of the system from which quotations and ratesbooks values are accessed.
From Live to DP
Before the raw data can be manipulated (see above) it must first be copied from the "live" area of the system to the "data processing" (DP) area.
The Select Vehicles icon displays the Select Vehicles List Box which enables the selection/deletion of vehicles (at franchise, model and variant level) for the purposes of copying the appropriate residual value tables for manipulation and subsequent uploading to the "live" area of the system. The List Box presents a "vehicle selection display" area and the following command buttons:
- Vehicle Selection Display Area

- OK
Confirms the selected vehicles and returns to the main Residual Value Copy form so that the copy may be executed.

- Add

The Yes or No command button is selected as required.
- Help

Following selection of the required vehicles the Execute command button copies the corresponding residual tables in the selected direction. This button only becomes active following selection of the required Copy Direction. A series of blue boxes display the progress of the current copy. Upon completion a RV Copy Statistics box displays how many RV table records were selected, updated, created and failed.
