Navigator now supports the new Autotrader Price Check tool when advertising a vehicle to accurately price vehicles.
Scanning or storing of PDF images of purchase invoices is now enabled for all Navigator users when posting a purchase invoice (previously required barcode scanning option)
It is now possible to bulk import purchase invoice information from a CSV style file. The file needs to have the following columns :- Account_No, Invoice_ Date, Invoice_ no, Net_ Amount, Vat, Gross_ Amount, Nominal_ Code, Text.
The Gross or Net Amount are needed but not both. The Account No is the Navigator Account No- eg 0001 and the nominal code is the Navigator Nominal Code in the form n.n.nn.nnn eg 1.10.40.100
This can be imported using the new import function from the Purchase Ledger - select the nominal posting date and browse to find the CSV file in this format to post invoices.
It is possible to post an invoice to multiple nominal codes, by repeating lines with the same account no and invoice no but differing values and nominal codes. The value on each line will be posted to each nominal expense code and the lines totalled to post the invoice to the Purchase Ledger
The technicians app now allows a technician to take and upload images for a job. This is useful for diagnostic sheets, images of the car or other items that may have previously been attached to the physical job card.
If certain characters were used in the description of a vehicle advert (mainly £ signs, and certain accented letters) these were not being transferred correctly to the Autotrader advert. This has been corrected.
Where dealers have multiple MOT bays, the screen display of the bays was awkward - this has been improved to make the display easier to read
The Printout of the Quotation for the Navigator VHC as available from within the workshop job has been relaid out and improved. Previously, there were limits on the number of parts and job lines that could be displayed on the quotatiion
Autotrader has it's own description for a vehicle which is automatically set. This is normally ok for advertising, but if needed the description can now be updated on the Advertising Tab of a vehicle stock record.
It is now possible to set a maximum no of MOTs that can be booked into the diary in any single day. To set this, go to Workshop > Service Parameters and choose the icon for "Opening Times". Next to the times there is a tick box to "Limit Number of MOTs". Tick this and a box will open where you can enter the maximum no of MOTs for a day.
When viewing a workshop ProForma invoice on screen, there is now a button to convert the proforma into a final invoice in a single click (would take 3 clicks previously)
