In a sales lead the user can add a trade-in car which will be considered in the calculation of the sales offer. In DSW, there are three possibilities when adding a trade-in car. 

1) Add the trade-in car with own evaluation based on employee's expertise

2) Request evaluation and indicative purchase price from a third party system as DAT3 


As shown here, the main information that is important to be provided is: 

  1. Make of the trade-in (family and model are not mandatory) 
  2. The model short description 
  3. Current mileage, 
  4. VIN - it is mandatory when requesting an evaluation from DAT3
  5. Final price that will be considered in the offer 
  6. If the car is tax reclaimable

The other fields are informative. 


In the Sales Offer sheet, the trade-in car and the final price with benefit can be included either in the Item section or in a separate section. In the first case the amount of the trade-in is subtracted from the Offer totals. 

The  set-up key UseTradeInWithSubtraction controls the above behavior: 

UseTradeInWithSubtraction =True in order to have the trade-in final price subtracted.

UseTradeInWithSubtraction =False(Default) in order to have the trade-in in a separate section. 


All trade-in vehicle information, are shown in the offer/order page, and also in the printouts.
