Unit Information

All information for the Unit the estimate is created for, is shown on this page.

This information will either be entered when the estimate is created or the screen will be automatically filled in if you are creating this estimate for an existing unit.

Click on the Save and go to the next step -> link, at the top right of the screen, when you are done entering unit information for this estimate, to continue to the Rate Override screen.

This screen has a Choose Existing Unit link, which is a big time saver when you are doing an estimate for an existing customer and for a unit you already have in your system. When you select an existing unit the screen will automatically be filled in with the information from that stored unit. Click on the link above for detail instructions on selecting an existing unit.

If you choose an existing unit you will not be able to change the unit number or the VIN field - the only way to change those fields is via Unit Maintenance. You may need to change the information for existing units by using the Maintenance menus. It would not be appropriate to change this information while making an estimate.

Enter information for new units, because they aren't already set up. All information on this screen is optional, so you may create an estimate even if you leave this screen completely blank. However, the function of the main Estimate screen is effected by the information entered on this screen, so you will need to enter some information on this screen to simplify the entry of estimates.

AdjustRite Part List. Select a Make, Model and Year to specify the appropriate parts list for the vehicle you are creating this estimate for. (Style may be selected, but doesn't effect the parts list used). AdjustRite part lists include significant "logic" so will be able to automatically calculate overlap and include relationships.

Custom Part List. You select your own custom part lists. You may create your own custom parts lists using AdjustRite and then specify which custom part list you want to use for an estimate here.

Enter Custom Names. You can enter your own Custom Make, Model, Year and Style on the Unit Information screen when you create an estimate. These will print on the Estimate reports instead of the Make, Model, Year and Style selected from the AdjustRite vehicle list. Custom information is optional, and is available to provide you with additional flexibility when creating your estimates.

Additional information - The following information may be entered on the Unit Information screen of each estimate. This information will be used to print on the reports, and in the case of the Paint Option will effect how estimates are calculated.

• Location ID: You may not enter information in this field. This field will display the fleet location ID if there is one associated with a unit. You may select a location ID, if you did not choose an existing unit, by clicking on the Search button beside the field and looking up the Fleet Location. After you have selected a fleet location it will display in this field. If you change your mind and do not want to assign this unit to a location, just click on the Clear button to clear it.
