Parts, Service, and Inventory Enhancements

CrossMaster-HD 
CrossMaster-HD, a quick cross-reference tool for finding part numbers and their cross references, has been totally redesigned with easy-to-use Legend-style navigation. It has also been updated with more than 2,000 vendors, 1.7 million part records, and 7 million crosses. CrossMaster-HD can be accessed through numerous fields in Part Number Display (IN601), Parts Order Entry/Processing (PO120), and Repair Order Entry/Processing (RS120), to allow you to quickly look up cross references in inventory. You can also control which CrossMaster-HD prompts appear within these programs, as well as whether or not inventory should automatically be checked.

Price file transport 
Allows Karmak to process price file requests from your Legend system and send the price tapes as zipped (compressed) files. The files are sent via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), unzipped on your business system, and then put into their proper directory, making it faster and more convenient to update your price files.

Cross Reference file import 
A new program for Versions 5.7 and 5.7-1 allows you to import an Excel-generated file of cross reference records. After the file has been imported, you can choose to print a trial run so the cross references can be verified before actually updating the Cross Reference file. You may also choose to do a complete run, which prints a complete listing and updates the Cross Reference file. Once the program is submitted to the batch process, the Cross Reference Import Listing (CR916) report is generated.

Core cost 
The Legend system now requires a cost to be entered in Parts Order Entry/Processing (PO120) and Repair Order Entry/Processing (RS120) for a core part, which prevents core returns with a cost of zero.

Sales and Accounting Enhancements

Sales Management integration 
Version 5.7-1 integrates your Legend system with our new ProfitMaster Sales Management module. Legend users can now take advantage Sales Management's advanced deal tracking and processing features, including Local Purchase Order (LPO) functions. LPOs help you track the true cost of each unit by attaching orders to vendors or your own departments. The ability to place a limit on the LPO total, which cannot be exceeded, helps you control unit costs. In addition, Legend Version 5.7-1 Accounting programs are fully integrated with the Sales Management module, including floor plan reconciliation, LPOs, and deal forms. See the related article in this issue for more on Sales Management.
