Using the Valuation Manager
Note: This is an additional module that requires special licensing. Please contact Audatex for more information.
You can calculate the replacement value of the identified vehicle by performing either a short or long valuation. There are important differences:
- A short valuation utilises a limited amount of information to calculate a vehicle replacement value, such as current kilometres and first registration date. You should perform a short valuation when you do not require a specific vehicle replacement value.
- A full valuation utilises a greater amount of information, such as performed repairs and vehicle aggregates to calculate an exact replacement value for a very specific vehicle. You should perform a long valuation when you require an exact replacement value for a very specific vehicle.
Which information is used to perform a short valuation?
- Standard vehicle equipment as identified by Eurotax key.
- Current kilometres.
- First registration date.
- Valuation date.
In addition, which information is used to perform a long valuation?
- Missing parts, performed and required parts.
- Installed and required aggregates.
- Optional, negative and manually entered equipment.
- Corrections such as market conditions and the number of previous users.
Before performing a vehicle valuation, you must identify and configure a vehicle in the Search Tree. Refer to Identifying a Vehicle Using the Universal Search Tree for more information. If you cannot identify the vehicle in the Search Tree, you can perform a manual valuation. Refer to Performing a Manual Vehicle Valuation.
Note: You must provide a Eurotax key for each vehicle you wish to perform a valuation for. It is possible however that even if you provide a Eurotax key for a vehicle, the system will not be able to retrieve sufficient vehicle details from the system database to enable you to perform a valuation. If so, when you exit the Search Tree, the system will automatically select Manual from Valuation Kind and set the Schwacke Key to 0000000. If you wish to perform a valuation, you must perform a manual vehicle valuation.
