    Hi, I've also attached a video that gives an example of the dealer discount changing. Regards Mark

    Thanks David. I believe this is a fundamental flaw in the original design, both the iQuote sales model and DBS price model come from the Caterpillar price list files and are the same for all dealers. Whereas the display model field is a free text field and is used differently by each dealer.

    This sounds like an important idea but it doesn't have many votes. We will bring this up at the dealer advisory group.

    Other issues caused by not mapping price model to price model are;

    - wrong dealer discount being pulled into the quote

    - wrong model description displaying on the quote document

    - wrong model pic showing on the quote
