Touch Screen Friendly Screen Redesign.

We have moved the location of the screen menus from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen and increased the size of the buttons so that they are easier to use with touch screens.

Multiple Service Contract.

We have updated the finance screens to allow dealers to sell 3 different warranty products on the same deal.   

Your finance contracts will only show the first warranty product and the total for all warranties sold unless you have specifically sent the contract to be programmed for multiple warranties.

If you have sold multiple warranties on the same deal the system will ask you wish warranty you are printing the warranty form for and load the appropriate data.

The update does require that you update both the finance professional software and the forms printing software and that you run the data conversion process.

We have added a few fields to the Simple Interest Notes Screen.

We have added the Buyer and Cobuyer SSN, DL and DOB fields as well as the email address field to the simple interest notes screen.  We have also moved some fields on the screen around to facilitate the display of the additional data.

Updated Search Features for SI Nots and Prospect Manager

We have added more ways to find prospect and notes including SSN's and partial VIN lookups.

GM Certfied Service Form

A Dealership requested the ability  to print the GM Certified Service Form from the Service Invoice Display Screen.   We have modified the GM VIS button to be a GM Button which will now provide a menu for pulling a VIS or printing this form.

We fill in the form provided by GM - we don't generate the complete form.

Printing Sublet Vendors

ACS received a request to allow the dealerships to not print sublet vendors.    To facilitate this ACS has added the field "Print Sublet Vendor" to the Service Invoice Type.    If you don't wish to print the vendor for a specific type of service invoice you must change this field from Y to N.

PI Notes - Customer Status Report Update

If you restrict the customer status report to bad debts, repos, write offs or sold accounts, you can now specify the date range in which these happened.   

The report heading will also specify that you have restricted the report by the type of note and the dates that were valid for this report.

Metro 2 Update for Credit Manager 4.

Per a request from the The Service Burea.  We have made a change to the export format to send all dates as mm/dd/yyyy.

Increase License Number Size

We have increased the field size for the vehilce license number to 8 characters on the deal edit screen.

Updated VIN FIle

We have loaded the lastest update to the VIN decoder database.

Added Corporate Type to GM FACTS

We have added input for the Corporate Type to the Employee Data Entry Screen for the GM FACTS statement and this information is now transferred to the TB Edit Screen.

Check to avoid dublicate internals

When starting an internal service invoice we have added a check to let you know if there is already a   service invoice open for that vin number.    If there is,  a message will give you the service invoice number and the type of service invoice.

Payoff Screen Update

In the PI notes - payoff screen we have added a second payoff amount and good until date.

This was done so that if the first good until date can't be met by the person making the payoff, you can give them another balance and date.

Financial Services Menu Update

We have made a change to the financial services menu.   If the warranty program you have selected on screen does not have a number of months in the setup,  the vehicle service contract section of the financial services menu will not print the months and miles portion of the disclosure.

Added Cobuyer County.

We have added the cobuyer county field to the data entry screen. If you have a contract that is asking for the cobuyer county on the pop up screen contact us so we can remove the extra data entry. Namaste' Kurt

New Tax Tables.

Dealer Professional and Finance Professional with Payroll programs have been updated to include the 2013 tax tables which were realeased today.

Social Security Tax Update.

Version 13.01.01 and higher of dealer professional and finance professional with payroll contains the update to move the employee portion of social security tax back to 6.2%.

Laser Forms.

Beginning January 1st ACS will be added laser forms printing to our system. If you have a PDF document file your dealership can send us, we can incorporate the whole document into the printing so you will not longer need to first print your pdf document and then use the F&I program to fill in the blanks. We also can do this with word documents if you have them.
