How Do I Find the Value of Clean Cores in DealerTrack’s web based DMS

Clean Cores are the core value associated with the new part number. Because the DealerTrack DMS links the core number to the primary part number and this cost is reflected in the total inventory value, there is no need for a specific clean core report.

Auto Dealership Service Department

If you would like to view the value of your Clean Cores, you can run the Counter Pad Report and send it to Microsoft Excel. Using Excel, you can create a formula that will show you the value of all of your Clean Cores. You will need to have a basic understanding of Microsoft Excel to work with this report.

To learn how to run a Clean Cores Report, take the following link: https://www.arkona.com/website_09/support/wiki/index.php/Clean_Cores_Report
