V.5.7 Highlights for:
Accounting Department | Sales Department | Parts Department | Service Department

• Alpha/numeric Customer ID—You may now use letters as well as numbers for the Accounts Receivable customer account. This offers you a virtually unlimited number of customer accounts.
• Fax A/R Statements to Customers—Month-end and on-demand statements can now be automatically faxed to your customers, saving time and postage costs. You may also choose to print copies of month-end statements for filing purposes.
• Invoice Reprints—All invoices may now be reprinted at any printer in any location, regardless of the setup characteristics for that printer. The invoice will be properly reformatted for the chosen printer.
• Sales Tax Detail—may now be saved for more than just current and prior month in order to better accommodate auditing needs.
• Accounts Payable Control Branch— Allows non-headquarters branches to control other branches. Your company can now set up accounts payable control centers for a group of branches. These controlling branches have the ability to post, display, and pay for the branches they control. You can now generate separate Accounts Payable Aging Reports (on-demand and month-end) by post branch to facilitate the reconciliation process.

• New & Used Vehicles—A new parameter controls whether the sale of a unit is allowed if open repair orders exist for the unit, providing tighter control over unit profit margins.

• View Multiple Bin Locations for Parts—Numerous programs now have the option to show all bin locations for a part.
• Inventory Picks by Month—Inventory picks are now recorded by month, for a truer picture of bin activity when analyzing or classifying inventory.
• Serial Stock in Physical Tag and Cycle Counting—Serial Stock parts will now be printed, counted, and maintained by individual stock number in the Physical Tag series and the Cycle Counting modules to ensure consistency between the inventory quantity and the supporting detail in the stock file. The Physical Tag series also allows specific vendors to be selected for the variance report.
• Shipping Instructions and Alternate Ship-To Address with Final P/O—Shipping instructions, comments, and alternate ship-to addresses (vendor drop-ship) will now be stored with the final order. This allows you to reprint or display final orders in the same format as the original purchase order.
• Import Cost in Open Postings—If you import inventory, you may now choose whether to store the "base cost" (import purchase cost) or the "landed cost" (base cost multiplied by all the import multipliers) in your Open Postings file. This option will have a positive impact on the accounts payable reconciliation process if you wish to post the inventory into general ledger in your own currency.
• Automatic Auto Backorder Filling—will now be immediate for stock and emergency orders.
• eCommerce/Fax Purchase Orders—When finalizing a suggested order, you now have the option to transfer via eCommerce or fax the purchase order if the vendor is set up for one of these methods. Find out how you can save 50% on eCommerce, or contact your Karmak Sales Representative at 1-800-622-6311 for more information.

• Preventive Maintenance—The last completion date for all levels of preventive maintenance service (hours or miles) can now be tracked. This will ensure accurate calculation and reporting of minimum days between A-level services, allowing better control over scheduled repair sales.
• Automatic Check on Date Part Added to Unit—When a part is added to a repair order, the system can now check when that part was last added to the unit and warn you if the replacement part may be subject to warranty.
• New Service Information in the Detail Sales History Files—Numerous service information fields have been added to sales history for improved reporting and analysis.
• Additional R/O Status Codes—A new program lets you create and maintain a list of valid repair status codes. All service programs have been enhanced to recognize and properly report the additional status codes.
• Inter-Branch Customer Reman—If you are using the customer remanufacturing capabilities introduced in Version 5.6, you can now request inter-branch reman work. When the "selling" branch creates a work order, it is sent electronically to the "reman" branch. Inter-branch accounting is automatically updated for the transferred work.
