Selection of Residual Groups Maintenance (accessed via the Miscellaneous Options / Residual Values Management Menu) presents the Residual Groups Matrix form. This form is typically utilised to allocate a residual table to a manually created variant. Once a table is created it is then allocated to the appropriate vehicle variants via the Vehicle Data Management process. Within the Vehicle Data Management option the appropriate vehicle variants are selected for the residual table in the Selection Tab and then the Residual Table No. is selected in the Edit field in the Edit Tab. The appropriate Residual Table number can then be entered in the grid for the selected variants.
In the Vehicle Data Management Edit Tab select
Residual Value Price via the 
button and enter the residual price to base the RV calculation upon. This
is typically the List Price.
Note: Always ensure the
in Residual Grp Maintenance is taken
to move the Residual Group Matrix values to the Data Preperation area. Also, use the
From DP to Live function in the Residual value copy
option to bring the RV tables live after any changes to the residual value price.
