  • Processing the deposits coming into your bank account?


This is a must!  As the deposits come into your bank account they must be processed to the undeposited funds General Ledger

Tip:

Keep in mind that the Stock Unit Valuation and Part Inventory Valuation Reports are only as good as the day they are run

For example:

Today is the 4th May 2022 and the Dealership wants to run the Stock Unit Valuation and Part Valuation Reports as at the 31st January 2022

These Reports do not have the ability to back date and get the valuations as of a past date
