State Inspection Stickers

[mbailey]

I'm curious as to how some other dealerships handle state inspection stickers from an accounting stanpoint. At our store, we bill out the entire inspection (including the sticker) as labor, then the cost of the stickers used is pulled out of service gross profit at the end of the month. We have done it this way for several years, but I never have liked it. I would like to put the stickers into parts inventory as they are purchased, sell them to service on an in/out basis at no markup, and bill the sticker out as parts on the RO. This would do away with pulling the stickers out of gross profit at the end of the month, and would not cause any headaches for the parts dept. Any suggestions? What are other stores doing? Thanks.

Why not handle as a misc. sale like a smog certificate. Put it in and out with cost and sale the same. Are you on ADP?...

Thanks for the input. Sounds like exactly what I had in mind. I'm on UCS.
