Renault provides a parts promotion scheme which selectively discounts a range of parts sold to people registered as Trade Partners. Each Trade Partner is given a membership number which is held against the Sales Ledger account on the Autoline system.
When invoices are raised for parts covered by the scheme, to a customer that is a member, an additional discount for parts is applied. This additional discount may be claimed back from Renault as a credit, provided details of the transaction are submitted with the claim.
To aid in the administration of the Trade Partner scheme, ADP Dealer Services UK Ltd has introduced a suite of software which automatically applies additional Trade Partner discounts, where appropriate, and records all such transactions so that you can download them to a floppy disk as the basis for a claim.
Before you capture and download Trade Partner transactions to floppy disk, you must ensure that the Sales Ledger account for each Trade Partner member and the Renault parameters & controls are set up correctly.
To designate a Sales Ledger account as a Trade Partner member, you must enter the customer’s trade partner code in the last four characters of the first line of the address.
For example, within the training system account B0003, Brownlee Motor Company Limited has an address that begins:
Yew Tree Garage
This is amended to read:
Yew Tree Garage ABCD
Where ABCD is the four-character (alpha) trade partner code.
Note: You must ensure that the trade partner code only appears in the last four characters of the first line of address, and nowhere else.
This menu is displayed when you select the Trade partners/promotion codes option from the RENAULT OPERATIONS menu.
Trade partner print and export: Captures Trade Partner transactions between the dates that you specify, and downloads the file to floppy disk. If required, you can also print a report of trade partner transactions, or view trade transactions included in the exported file.
Promotion code maintenance: Enables you to maintain promotion code discounts.
Re-price price file: Enables you to re-price the price file in the event that Renault issue an update to the price file or you amend the promotion code discounts table.
