Payments Set-up

See also:

  1. In the Dealer code mapping option, create dealer code mapping records for each company.

  2. In Warranty, create parameters for each POS Company in Service and Repair claims.

    (To create the GM-specific parameters for this company, click More settings, and complete the fields.)

  3. Go to the Sales Ledger accounts and amend the warranty account for each company. Set the central billing type to GM.

EOD Settings

Payments require an End-of-Day entry. This is to upload payment files on a regular basis from the DCS2 machine using the DMS PACK to avoid files being deleted before they are collected, especially at weekends when there may not be anyone to download them manually.

One of these records must be created for each POS company.

Note: Some DCS systems are slow to respond, so it may be advantageous to create at least two records that will look at the same DCS machine.

In Timed operations, you need to create a record for each daemon you created.

Start time: Always 08:00

Adding Invoice Numbers to Claims (UK only)

If you want to ensure that the invoice number is printed on the claim, you must set up the format stationery. (See MS_GMAWP.3781_MSRM Branch 3.doc, Section 5.5)

Generic File Transfer Record:

The two records displayed in the File Transfer Editor for GM Warranty Payments Version 3 are SWP2.
