Also, the figure shown does not contain the price of additional items or the price of fluids mapped in Fluid Mapping. To this end, the prices are only really a guide and should not be quoted to customers.
Note: Volvo Fast Track (VFT) prices are not displayed here because the price is calculated automatically by the system when a menu is loaded in Point-of-Sale, and calculated according to the labour rate and parts discount percentage specified in the VFT parameters.
