The QuoteWerks built-in leasing payment calculator simplifies the process of creating quotes and proposals with various leasing options instead of purchasing the entire total outright. All leasing companies are supported, they simply need to be setup in QuoteWerks. Once you have setup your rate cards in QuoteWerks, you can add leasing payments to your quotes from the Sale Info tab.
Important: If you are using GreatAmerica or Ingram Micro Lease-IT and have a Real-time module, you will setup the Real-time Leasing Integration in the Real-time setup window. |
Adding a Leasing Company Rate Card
|
To add your leasing company's rate card to QuoteWerks, open up the QuoteWerks directory folder and locate the folder called LeaseRateCards. In that folder you can add a rate card for any Leasing Company. An example of the formatting already exists in this folder. Simply edit that file to include your rate factors in the file. The file is already formatted correctly and just needs to include the updated rate card information. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary for any leasing companies you use.
Edit this file using an XML editing program such as Microsoft Visual Studio Tools. There are many other programs that can edit this file as well.
In the above screen shot you will see fields for the range start, range stop, and then the factor. Simply replace the example factor rate with the factor from your rate card and repeat these steps for all the ranges on your rate card. If you need to add additional ranges you can do so by copying the format shown above as well as adding other options such as 48 or 60 month options. Make sure you only change the options and not the formatting.
