Contract Maintenance: Maintenance

Maintenance profiles, service, and reporting

Maintenance

The Maintenance screen offers a summary view of a contract’s transactions. Transactions can originate from the following areas:

  • Approvals (such as maintenance, services, fuel, transport and others)

  • Payments (finance, insurance and management fee)

Payment transactions are displayed if they have a Posted or History only status. The Due Date of the payment is displayed on the Maintenance screen and in the Maintenance report.

Finance transactions are only displayed and reported if the Finance checkbox “Report Finance Payments?” is checked. Insurance transactions are always displayed.

Management Fee transactions are displayed when payments are Posted.

Single Posting Class transactions are displayed if they have a status of Posted or History Only.

  • Reg/CTP Renewals

  • Card Services

  • Contract Events

    • When a Driver Change Event is created and an odometer reading is entered, an “Odometer Reading Update” entry is created and shown as a valid maintenance entry

  • Vehicle Transfers

    • Where a vehicle is moved between contracts, Maintenance History can be shared where specific data relationships exist

Maintenance Profiles

Maintenance profiles calculate expected servicing costs based on vehicle and contract settings.

Each variant includes:

  • Service Months

  • Service Kilometres

These are used to estimate expected services based on:

  • Contract Term

  • Contract Kilometres

Variants are linked to a service profile (e.g. 4Cyl Luxury 2WD 10K Service), which determines cost estimates included in the Total Budget.

Maintenance budgets can be adjusted via:

  • Clients / Quote Defaults “Maintenance Uplift Rate” (percentage adjustment, positive or negative)

  • Additional uplift for used vehicles (configured separately)

The maintenance profile recalculates when:

  • Effective Date changes

  • Term (Months) changes

  • Annual KM changes

  • Client Code changes

  • Variant changes

  • New/Used status changes

  • Odometer changes


Field Descriptions

  • Include? (Check Box) — Includes or excludes the profile

  • Profile Name (Lookup) — Select maintenance profile (default from variant)

  • Interval Months (Text) — Service interval in months

  • Interval KMs (Text) — Service interval in kilometres

  • Number of Services (Calculation) — Higher of time-based or distance-based service count

  • Cents per KM (Calculation) — Contract KMs ÷ Total Budget

  • Monthly Budget (Number) — Total Budget ÷ billing periods

  • Per Service Budget (Calculation) — Total Budget ÷ Number of Services

  • Total Budget (Number) — Total calculated maintenance cost


Example Calculation (New Vehicle)

  • Service interval: 15,000 km or 6 months

  • Every 7th service is major ($1,500), others are minor ($480)

  • Vehicle starts at 0 km

  • 8 services total:

    • 7 minor services

    • 1 major service

  • Total: $4,860.00


Example Calculation (Used Vehicle)

  • Starting odometer: 100,000 km

  • Same service structure as above

  • 8 services total:

    • 6 minor services

    • 2 major services

  • Total: $5,880.00


Maintenance profiles are typically generated via scheduler jobs during implementation.
