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.
