Final Observations

  • Workbook Differentiation: Recognize variations in workbooks received from NA VIC, noting the presence of additional sheets versus simple report formats.

  • Lease Bank Addition: Adding banks involves several specific steps, considering different parameters such as addresses and fees (e.g., FMCCL bank).

  • Setup Validation: Manual verification is essential, not solely relying on automated formulas.

  • Lender Codes: Reference specific lender codes, like Tulsa Teachers Credit Union for TTCU bank.

  • Dealer Groups List: Access dealer or store groups through the command A/c-ADP Fun-TCL with TCL COMMAND = MM.PGM.LIST.GROUPS.

  • Multi-Store Projects: Ensure consistency in finance institutions and We-Owe reports across multiple stores by focusing on common entries first.

October 2023 Notes

  • Sales Account Restrictions: Avoid using sale accounts that end with D or L related to dealer trade or lease activities in financial setups.
