My Repair Order is Marked “G/L Error.” Is This Something I Can Resolve on my Own?

share on facebook  | 

Repair Orders have a status of “G/L Error” when someone tries to close the Repair Order and the system is unable to locate all of the Accounts necessary to apply the transactions.  Until the G/L Error is resolved, the repair order will not close or post into the General Ledger.

Accounts are defined throughout the system. Since so many accounts are necessary to close a Repair Order, the DealerTrack DMs Training Department developed a guide to help you learn how to resolve G/L Errors without needing to call into the Support Center.

We hope you had a chance to drop by our booth or attend the famous DealerTrack Party at the 2010 NADA Convention and Expo in Orlando, Florida.  Everyone had a great time and we feel it was a very successful convention for DealerTrack.  Here are a few highlights.

DealerTrack Press Releases: DealerTrack had several major announcements prior to the show.  Many of them included key advancements for our Dealer Management System.  Some of the announcements are:

The DealerTrack Booth: The 2010 NADA Convention and Expo may have been slower than in years past but you couldn’t tell by walking into DealerTrack’s booth.  We couldn’t keep up with the demand and had to fly in 5 additional sales representatives to demo DealerTrack’s Dealer Management System.  We were so busy that AutoNews.com featured us in an article at http://www.autonews.com/article/20100213/BLOG06/100219927#comments.

DealerTrack’s booth included an oversize video announcing DealerTrack’s DMS Switch & Save Program.  Save 50% off the cost of your DMS or we’ll pick up your tab for a month.  For more details visit www.dealertrackdms.com/rd/ssblog.
