Modify Deal after Options / Units have been Committed


We have removed some of the Customer Order restrictions that will make it easier for Users to be able to modify Unit Deals


These changes include the ability to:  

  • add additional units to the deal even if the units and options have committed

  • swap out unit/s even if the unit and options have already been committed 

  • add additional options to in the Unit Deal option section even if options have already been committed

  • select which of the units the Dealership wants to commit options for when there is multiple units on the Unit Deal

  • to see if part / labor option line items on Unit Deals have been committed or not

Notes for customers in Unit Deal section

  • We have added a new section to Customer Order > Unit Deal called Notes for customer

  • Any notes that are typed into this section will appear ie print on all deal documents and deal invoice


New Report - Unit Sales Tracker


A new report has been designed and released - Unit Sales Tracker which is focused on deal units and when the deal becomes a “confirmed sale”

  • We are classifying a deal as being a “confirmed sale” when either a deal deposit is taken on the Customer Order or the deal status is progressed from Quote to In progress

  • The primary purpose is to make it easier for users to track what deals have been “firmed up” during a given period of time

  • The Unit Sales Tracker will report on all types of units - Inventory, On order, Temporary, Consignment and Trade-ins

  • By default it will report units from deals “confirmed” in the last 7 days but users will be able to change the parameters to suit what they want to report on


All existing deals in the Dealership's Blackpurl will be assigned a “Confirmed Sale Date” based on the following: 

  1. If the Delivery Date has been set on the deal, this will become the "Confirmed Sale Date"

  2. If the status of the deal is Quotation AND the Customer Order does not contain any Deal Deposits, the "Confirmed Sale Date" will be left blank

  3. If the Customer Order contains at least 1 deal deposit, the "Confirmed Sale Date" will be set to the payment date of the earliest deal deposit

  4. If the deal has been invoiced, we will set the "Confirmed Sale Date" to be the date when the deal was invoiced

  5. Otherwise the "Confirmed Sale Date" will be set to the Date Last Modified of the deal
