Accounts Procedures
If your system is using the Automatic Cost of Sales facility:
- When the vehicle status changes from an In Stock status i.e. 'STO' to a status which is not set to be an In Stock status i.e. 'TRA' the system will post a journal to Credit Vehicle Stock Value and Debit Vehicle Accruals.
- When the vehicle arrives at the second dealer and the status is changed back to 'STO' the system posts a journal to Debit Vehicle Stock Value and Credit Vehicle Accruals. This ensures the stock value moves to the correct site.
If your system is not using the Automatic Cost of Sales facility:
- If you split your accounts by site, you will need to make sure you correct your stock of vehicles.
- This can be achieved by editing the site the Purchase Invoice has been allocated to.
- Or posting a journal between the stock of vehicles at the two sites.
If you are unsure which method your system is using please Contact your Platinum dealer or our support team on 0116 230 1500 or by using our website support contact page.
