Implement Stricter Controls
The DMS also includes configurable controls to prevent selling below the part’s price and ensure no sales are made below the historical purchase cost. While the replacement cost is a value set by the OEM, dealerships often make scheduled purchases to obtain discounts, resulting in a true purchase cost that is lower than the replacement cost. In this case, a control is applied to prevent selling below the historical cost, which is the actual amount the part costs the dealer.
