  9. UPGRADE HIGHLIGHTS • New Warranty Type Codes • Warranty Credit Note Changes • No Warranty Claim Acknowledgements • Updated ALTG • VW / Audi Host Computer Process

  10. NEW WARRANTY TYPE CODES Warranty Type Codes have been changed from WIN 2-character to SAGA 3-character format. • Note that some 2-character codes will continue to be used by VW.

  11. WARRANTY CREDIT NOTE CHANGES The AGUS function is used to set up your accounting system for warranty credit (payment) data received from VW / Audi. Changes to the AGUS function: • The new 3-character Warranty Type Codes will now be used. • You can now have separate setups for VW and Audi General Ledger accounts.

  12. NO WARRANTY CLAIM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS • Previously, warranty claims sent to VW were assigned a new, sequential alphabetic line code (A, B, C, x …) as they were received. • The Claim Acknowledgement contained the original line code and the new, VW-assigned line code. • With SAGA, the line code is not changed so the Warranty Claim Acknowledgement is no longer provided by VW / Audi.

  13. UPDATED ALTG • The Automated Labor Time Guide (ALTG) has been updated with an expanded set of labor operation codes for use with the SAGA system. • This new feature supports consistent, accurate pricing and helps to: Promote effective labor rates Increase labor gross profits Improve customer satisfaction

  14. VW / AUDI HOST COMPUTER PROCESS • SAGA processes claims from the DMS on a four-hour cycle. • This short cycle results in faster claims processing and the ability to follow a claim through to “approved for reimbursement” in a single day.

  16. AGENDA

  17. INSTALLATION PROCESS

  18. PRE-INSTALLATION STOP PATCH • ADP will electronically distribute a patch to each dealer’s DMS seven days prior to the SAGA “go live” date. It will trigger automatically at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday of the week before the “go live” date. • All ROs closed from Wednesday through Sunday will have an invalid status. Hence, each claim closed from Wednesday through Sundaymust be reviewed after the Warranty DTR software has been loaded. • The SMT, PMT, and RRC functions will be unavailable until after the new Warranty DTR software has been loaded. The TRD function will be unavailable until the Monday morning after the new software load. 2. General Operation 3. Operating Procedures

  19. NEW DTR SOFTWARE INSTALLATION • For all existing claims in work files, Warranty Type Codes are converted from WIN 2-char. to corresponding SAGA 3-char. code format when an automatic conversion is possible. • In some cases, an automatic conversion will not be possible. • So, after the new Warranty DTR software has been loaded, you must use the PMT function to review: • Warranty Type Codes for all claims that still exist in work files • Other new and updated fields • Untransmitted warranty data files will stop the load process!

  20. Automatic Processing POST-INSTALLATION PROCESSING • Warranty backup files will be deleted (the old format is incompatible with the SAGA changes). • Warranty Credit Note setups will be updated for both VW and Audi Warranty Type Codes. • If both VW and Audi are in same DCS account, the VW AGUS GL account setups will be copied to create a separate set of new VW and Audi setups. Manual Processing • PMT: For warranties with Warranty Type Codes that cannot be automatically converted to the SAGA 3-char. codes, enter new SAGA codes. • AGUS: For dual dealerships, update the separate posting accounts for warranty credit note processing.
