DMS Custom Mapping When a DMS deal is imported to RouteOne, any elements coming in the ‘Options’ or ‘Other Charges’ sections are

defaulted to the Cash Price field. RouteOne can provide a dealership with the option of mapping these products to the field of the dealer’s choosing. If a dealer prefers it to remain in the Cash Price, just click the ‘Save’ button.

The DMS Custom Mapping page will appear one time, after a DMS imported deal has been selected for eContracting, or for new fields that have not yet been mapped on the contract worksheet. Any elements coming in the ‘Options’ or ‘Other Charges’ sections will be available for the dealer to customize the mapping (by clicking the ‘Make Selection’ drop-down menu for each item, and then click the ‘Save’ button). Once the mapping selections have been made, a dealership will not be prompted to map those products again on future deals.

Dealers may also delete their custom mapping by using the permissions provided within the System Administrator user profile by clicking ‘Dealer Info’ in the ‘Admin’ tab. On the Dealer Information page, in the eContracting section, click the ‘Maintain eContracting Information’ link.

You will be directed to the eContract Details page. Click the ‘Click this link to remove all custom DMS import mapping’ link within the Custom DMS Mapping section.

Confirming Matching Monthly Payment Amounts In order to improve functionality, RouteOne has a feature that allows dealers to adjust the Monthly Payment

Amount to match their DMS system, while remaining within the acceptable tolerance APR limit.

To update the contract worksheet so that the monthly payment amount due matches the payment amount imported by the DMS, follow these steps:

o The payment schedule will be populated with values directly from the DMS. o Simply tab out of the APR or term field, in order to run the RouteOne calculations. o If there is a discrepancy between the RouteOne calculated monthly payment, and the payment amount

from the DMS, type the DMS payment into the ‘DMS calculated monthly payment’ field. o After entering an acceptable amount in the ‘DMS calculated monthly payment’ field, click the ‘Verify and

Apply’ button. The system will respond back with a reminder text at the bottom of the TIL section and a pop-up alerting the user that the DMS calculated monthly payment has been applied successfully.
