Buy Here Pay Here Tab

The Buy-Here / Pay-Here tab lists all of the open In-House or BHPH deals that  you have in your system.  This is your main collections page.

Note: You cannot create a new deal or enter new vehicles here.

The screen is divided into several sections.

Across the top of the page, to the left of the Buy-Here / Pay-Here title, there is a row of buttons.

• The Collect button will allow you to collect payment for the deal that is currently highlighted in the customer list of the BHPH screen.  This tool functions the same as using the collect payments button on the payments tab inside the deal.
• The Print button contains a number of BHPH related printing functions that will print for any number of selected customers from the BHPH list.  Customers are selected by marking the check box found on the left side of the customer’s information line.
• The Options button will house various options available for the page.
  • Reset View – This will reset the column order and size of the BHPH list.
  • Listview auto start – If this is on, when the BHPH tab is clicked, the list will load without having to search or click Reload.
  • Send Payment Reminder Text – Send a text that payment is due.
  • Set Agent – Sets the collection agent for the deal.
  • Link Accounts – This associates accounts together for the purpose of creating a single report. (This is for form 8300, to determine if the combined accounts collected a cumulative of 10,000 dollars cash within 12 months.)
• The Reload button refreshes the BHPH List.  This will update the figures for any accounts that have been collected or adjusted since the last refresh.
• Customers who subscribe to the Metro II credit reporting module can click the Credit Report button to start the process of collecting the data from their BHPH accounts for reporting to the credit agency that will receive the report.
• The Follow Ups button accesses the DeskManager Tasks system.  From here the user will be able to review tasks assigned for a specific user, or for all users, and can set a date range for the tasks to be reviewed.  Please see the Tasks and Follow Ups help pages for more information.
