Inspection Data Transferring to Invoice

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:

  1. Open MV-431

  2. Click File and select options

  3. Set text string at bottom right

  4. Hit save

When submitted with labor line matching the string it will populate Work performed field.

Popup Integration:

  1. Open MV-431

  2. Fill out inspection

  3. Click Settings, hover over create line item, and choose shop popup form

  4. Highlight text and copy to clipboard

  5. Open SMS labor line

  6. Paste

Certain Shop Management Systems need to use the popup integration as they don’t write to the labor line automatically.

Manually Create Labor Line Item:

  1. Open MV-431

  2. Fill out inspection

  3. Click Settings, hover over create line item, and choose Inspection Line Item

  4. This will write to the inspection line work performed in the Shop Management System
