If you accept a new dealer code, the Retail Dealer Payment Tolerances form is displayed and you are prompted to set the tolerance values that determine whether a claim is marked as fully paid or partially paid.

New Retail Dealer Code Found Form

This form is displayed when, during the SBI import process, a newly found dealer code is encountered. It enables you to decide whether or not the new dealer code should be processed.

Dealer code details:

New retail/satellite dealer: Code for the newly found dealer.

Decision:

Accept this retail dealer: Select this option button to select the new retail dealer whose code is displayed in the New retail/satellite dealer field.

Retail dealer's Autoline company: Point-of-Sale company responsible for the new retail dealer, selectable with a drop-down button.

Reject this retail dealer: Select this option button to reject the new retail dealer whose code is displayed in the New retail/satellite dealer field.

Do not ask about this dealer again: Select this check box to stop the system from flagging re-occurrences of the new retail dealer whose code is displayed in the New retail/satellite dealer field.

Retail Dealer Payment Tolerances Form

This form is displayed when you have chosen to accept a new retail dealer. It enables you to establish, for the new dealer, the claim payment tolerances that determine whether a claim is marked as fully paid or partially paid.

Tolerances are used to determine whether a claim that is underpaid by only a small amount should be marked as fully paid on the printed reports for the retail dealer.

Retail dealer code:

Retail dealer code: Code for the new retail dealer whose tolerances are being set.

Main dealer code: Code for the main dealer for the new retail dealer.

Tolerances:

Tolerance percentage: Maximum percentage by which a claim payment can be underpaid and still be marked as fully paid.

Tolerance value: Maximum amount by which a claim payment can be underpaid and still be marked as fully paid.

Note: Click OK without changing the contents of the fields if you want to use the default values. The conditions set in both the tolerance percentage and the tolerance value fields must always be met for an underpaid claim to be marked as fully paid.

Buttons:

OK: Confirms the current tolerance percentage and the tolerance value values as those to be used to determine whether or not an underpaid claim payment for this dealer should be considered as fully paid.

Examples

If either the tolerance percentage is set to 5% or the tolerance value is set to 5.00, a claim value of 100.00 would be considered as fully paid if a payment between 95.00 and 100.00 was received, but a payment of less than 95.00 would be marked as partially paid.
