Why:
A pending cost is a cost received from the workshop, or from an external costs interface, that can't be allocated automatically, either because the direct update option is not enabled, or because insufficient information has been supplied by the source application to allow a direct match to be made.
The Pending Costs option is the maintenance routine used by the vehicle administrator to allocate pending costs to the correct vehicle and cost item.
Where:
From the Vehicle Order View, select Actions > Pending Costs. This will display the Vehicles with Pending Costs window.
How to Work With Vehicle Order Pending Cost:
The Vehicles with Pending Costs window displays a list of stock ID's against which pending costs have been received either from the Fusion workshop application, or via the costs interface from an external system.
If the stock ID is present on the Fusion stock order file, the vehicle chassis type and number, registration number, order number, customer number and salesperson code are displayed. The screen may also contain stock ID's that do not exist in Fusion: this occurs as a result of the external costs interface transferring a cost with an incorrect stock ID.
Stock ID 99999999 may also be present. This stock ID is used if the external costs interface has transferred a cost with a blank stock ID and a blank or invalid chassis number.
To allocate pending costshighlight a stock ID in the Vehicles with Pending Costs and select File > Open. This will display the Pending Costs window.
Select a pending cost by highlighting it and clicking once, then click and drag it to the required item in the 'Allocate Selected Costs' section of the screen. The 'Confirm Allocate' message will then display, select Yes to confirm the cost allocation or 'No' to abandon the cost allocation.
Hint: you can select multiple pending costs by holding down the Shift key or Ctrl key and clicking on the desired items.
Right-clicking a Pending Cost allows you to Change Disputed Status, Delete or Transfer. Change Disputed Status changes the Disputed field against the pending cost to 'Yes', making it unavailable for allocation. Delete allows the pending cost to be deleted, and Transfer allows the pending cost to be transferred to another valid stock ID.
