Re: Reconciling Tire Inventory

Can you tell me the DMS system that your store uses?

If it is CDK, then your issue is more than likely the result of improper "Source Accounting", or parts sourcing. There are several places that have to be considered when setting up source accounting. On the Parts Logon, there is OSSA, and the ...

Re: New Parts Manager here.

:D Welcome Rick!! Though I am no GM expert, there are so many great contacts here! If your store is a CDK store, I happen to know it as well as anyone, and I work with 7 GM stores, and can help or connect you with other great resources as well. Good Luck!

Re: COST CHANGES AT RANDOM

I may be REALLY old school, but I was never a fan of selling a part number that I DIDN'T add to the system. I always wanted to capture and track ALL history and demand. Example: I run down to NAPA three times to get a specific belt that I didn't have in stock from the factory, and my counter guy ...

Re: Tekion DMS Review

During a demo that we had recently, I was kind of surprised. We looked at an "Aging" report that showed the 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and OVER 12 buckets.

We have that report now, in all of our stores, but in our GM stores, we add an extra 13-15 bucket, because of their RIM returns.

GM doesn't seem ...

Re: Doing without dot matrix line printer

LONG ago, in a store far, far away, I rid our store of the "greenbar" printers.

We create not only a STORE-S and STORE-I DSDA cabinet, but we also have STOREJOB-I and STOREJOB-S (as well as accounting and F&I), and we point ALL jobstacks at those cabinets. I have not physically printed a jobstack ...

Re: CDK Name File Monster

I have spent a considerable amount of time on our name file.

As an enterprise that has an external data warehouse, it's trickier, as when Name Consolidation is run, and History is rewritten, some things in our data warehouse do not update completely.

I highly recommend CDK's Datafresh application ...

Tekion DMS Review - Multi-Company

We will be reviewing the Tekion DMS throughout this year.

One of the many reasons that we are still on CDK is that they are the only DMS that handles TRUE-Multi-Company, and multi-tiered accounting, including shared customer, vehicle, history, files. Perfect? No, but others just can't do it.

Are ...

Re: CDK Advice

With regard to your FLAT priced parts, I created a price matrix on a FIXED/LIST price source.


Source(s): 114
Price to calculate: PRICE6
Price break field: PRICE6

PRICE6 Is──To─── PRICE6 Will Be
0.00 0.00 LIST
0.01 9999999999.99 PRICE6

This way, you can still have the part update on the master ...
