08/22/2024 BHPH/Leases Fees Enhancement

New enhancements have been released for BHPH and Lease deal structures, bringing greater precision and flexibility to the way fees and payments are posted and tracked. This update introduces smarter handling of add-on fees and significantly improves the posting of partial payments across all key financial components—including fees, payments, interest, and principal. Now, when a customer makes a partial payment, the system intelligently allocates the amounts according to your defined payment hierarchy, ensuring each portion is accurately applied. For dealerships that manage a high volume of payment plans or charge custom fees—such as late fees, service charges, warranties, or delivery add-ons—this enhancement simplifies the accounting process and increases transparency. Dealers can now easily post, allocate, and track these additional charges without relying on manual workarounds or disconnected systems. By automating fee recognition and partial payment allocation, Autodeals continues to streamline in-house financing workflows and reduce the margin for error in everyday BHPH and Lease operations. This update is part of our ongoing mission to help independent dealers operate with confidence, accuracy, and full visibility into their revenue streams.
