How to get Inspection data to transfer to the invoice in your shop management system
Things To Note
-
The labor text has to be EXACTLY matching
-
E.g. PA STATE INSPECT will cover PA STATE INSPECTION-EXEMPT and PA STATE INSPECTION-MOTORCYCLE because it has the exact string involved
-
PA STATE INSPECT and then a space will be seen as an extra character and will break the lookup
-
-
The labor line must be present on the order before submitting the sticker in MV-431
How To
Automated:
