The customer record contains information about the customers for whom you perform maintenance or repair work. Your customers may be other departments, cost centers, owner-operators, other companies, or any other entity that is billed for work completed. Setting up the customer file allows markups to be applied for services rendered or items sold.

Info

If you're planning to bill customers for maintenance and repair work, set the "Use Customer Billing" switch to YES, REQUIRED , or NO as needed via switch #31 in Main System Parameters in Classic contact our support@rtafleet.com for more information on how to allow this feature.

Tip

If an asset belongs to a specific customer, it's a good idea to specify the customer number in the asset file. Then, when a work order is created for that vehicle, the customer number automatically comes up as the default.

As items are posted to work orders or fuel transactions are input, any applicable markups set in the customer records are applied and added to the work orders and fuel transactions.
