Tutorial TopicsThis first set of topics (up to Ending the Programme) explains
concepts to give you an understanding of how WVH works. The topics from File on
down through Help give you information on how to use a specific item on WVH's
menus.

SupportThese topics pertain to getting help in printed and electronic form.
This is the information to look at when you are first starting
out.~~|Suggestion|~~If you are fairly new to computers it will help
significantly for you to read just the first overview sections of the manual.

How to print the documentationThese are the documentation files which are
provided on-disk with WVH:~~1. READ.ME ÄÄ Things to know before using WVH plus
latest features~2. WVH.TXT ÄÄ ASCII text file of the shareware manual (which
differs from the more in-depth Registered Edition manual)~3. WVH.WP ÄÄ
WordPerfect 5 file of the shareware manual~4. ORDER.FRM ÄÄ A blank invoice for
ordering all of my software (an invoice & registration form is included in the
WVH.TXT and WVH.WP files).~~Go to the DOS prompt and change to your WVH
directory (e.g., "cd \wvh"). To |display| a file:~~|| Type "|LIST filename|" -
If you have 4DOS or LIST.COM in your computer you will see the file appear
almost instantly~~|| If you see the message "Bad command or file name") then
use "|MORE < filename|"~~To |print| a file enter "|TYPE filename > PRN|"
(without the quotation marks). If underlining is causing an extra line to be
generated, it means your printer is adding a Line Feed (LF) character to the
Carriage Return (CR) character. This used to be common in days of old when data
moved slowly and saving one byte was significant, but these days most software
works better if you turn this feature OFF. Look in your printer's manual for a
feature described as "CR=CR or CR=CR+LF" or something similar.~~If you have
WordPerfect or another word processor which can import WordPerfect files (such
as Word), run it and load the file WVH.WP. You will see instructions in a
comment at the top of the file.

How to registerIf you use WVH past the 60-day trial period you are required
to pay the registration fee. If you regularly use WVH you will |want| to
register for these great benefits:~~|û| You'll get the latest version with
automated installation and PCL (laser) soft fonts on floppy disk~~|û| Support
from the author will be available via telephone, mail, and BBS~~|û| You get a
detailed, 3-ring-bound manual which contains a brief computer course as well as
full instructions for WVH~~|Registering Through the Mail|~~|1.| Choose the
|H|elp/|O|rder Form option from WVH's menu. If you print the instruction manual
(see "Printing The Documentation" in the Help Index) the order form can be
found on or around page 6.~~|2.| Fill in and send it with payment to Box 132,
Paonia, CO 81428 USA. Your Registered Edition disk with automated installation
will arrive in 1-4 weeks.~~|Credit Card Orders|~~If you prefer to use a credit

How to obtain updatesIf a message appears on your screen informing you that
the software is out-dated, it is an indication that the latest version of WVH
has vastly improved ÄÄ it probably has many more features and enhancements. You
can also use the command DIR WVH.EXE to look at the date of the WVH programme;
if it is over a year old you would probably be amazed at the improvements you
could be using.~~I want you to evaluate and use the latest and best version, so
here is how you can obtain an update:~~|| If you have a modem, look around
page 5 of the documentation (WVH.TXT or WVH.WP) for the list of official

Using WVHThe topics which follow pertain to using WVH.

Menu UsageWVH uses the same type of menu found in Windows, Gem, QuickBASIC,
and "Mac" computers. The menu, which is on the second line of your screen, is
two-dimensional: there are |menu headings| horizontally and under each of these
are the actual |menu items|. There are three ways to choose a menu item:~~1.
Use the right, left, up, and down arrows to highlight the item you want then
press |ÄÙEnter|, or~~2. Press the highlighted letter of the menu item, or~~3.
Use a mouse to highlight a choice; select it by clicking the left button.~~For
example, you can press |F| then |x| to exit WVH, or highlight |File| then press
the down arrow and highlight |Exit| then press |ÄÙEnter|.~~|NOTES|~~To
pull-down (|open|) a menu just highlight it then press |ÄÙEnter| or the
|down-arrow| key.~~To |close| a menu just press the |Esc| key. It is not
necessary to close a menu. You can use the right/left arrows with the menus
opened to browse all of the options. Usually the only reason to close a menu is
so you can use the letters instead of arrows (e.g., if you had the File menu
open and wanted to use the Help Index you could press Esc to close the File
menu then press |H|-|I| to jump to the Help Index).

Why are some menu choices unavailable?Menu choices are sometimes "grayed-out"
(displayed in low-intensity gray) to indicate that they are not available.
When this is the case, it means that certain conditions are not being met to
allow the use of the function. For example, if you have not opened a file, the
Print, Import, and Export options will be unavailable since they operate on
the data contained within a file.~~The most common reasons for items being
unavailable are:~~|| Printer or fonts not defined. See the Preferences
Printers screen to define this information.

Status LineWVH has a status line at the bottom of the screen which looks like
this:~~|Vehicles³Inventory Items³Sched. Maint.³01-01-1980|~~From left to right
the items are:~1. Total vehicles on file~2. Total inventory items on file~3.
Total maintenance events scheduled~4. To-day's date (so far as the computer
knows).

Ending WVH (return to DOS)When you are finished using WVH and want to end the
programme just select the E|x|it option under the |F|ile menu.~~If all menus
are closed, just press |Fx|. Alternately, you can highlight the File menu,
press ÄÙEnter, then press the up arrow to highlight "Exit" and press ÄÙEnter.
Still another method is to use a mouse: click on "File" to activate the file
menu then click on "Exit."

HardwareThese topics discuss particular hardware situations, problems, etc.

Laser Printer FontsFonts are different styles of type your printer can
produce (e.g., Helvetica and Roman are two common fonts). Your laser printer
has one or more of the following types of fonts:~~|| Resident fonts~||
Cartridge fonts~|| Soft fonts~~|Resident fonts| are permanently stored in your
printer's memory to be used at any time. |Cartridge fonts| are also a type of
memory, available for use at any time. |Soft fonts| are stored on disk and
downloaded (sent) to the printer as needed. You can use resident, soft, and
cartridge fonts as are supported for your printer (if you see it on the menu of
fonts then it's supported).~~|NOTES|~~Reports all print in |portrait|
orientation so any software fonts you wish to use will have to end in .SFP. If
you have PCL soft fonts with different extensions (such as USP), just rename
them to SFP or SFL as appropriate. SFP and SFL are the most common extensions,
meaning |S|oft |F|ont |P|ortrait and |S|oft |F|ont |L|andscape.

Using WVH on a laptop computerLaptop or other portable computers which use an
LCD or gas plasma display screen are similar to computers which have VGA
monochrome displays ÄÄ WVH knows you have a VGA (or EGA or CGA) display
|adapter|, but it doesn't know if you have a colour |monitor|. If you have a
one-colour monitor (like LCD), some things may be difficult or impossible to
read on the screen.~~To remedy this problem, use the |/M| (Monochrome) switch
when you start WVH ÄÄ enter |WVH /M| at the DOS prompt. If you are "launching"
WVH from within Windows, highlight your WVH icon then press Alt-Enter (or
access the File/Properties menu item with your mouse) and add |/M| at the end
of the command line.

FileIn general, using the File menu is like going over to your paper filing
cabinet. Under this menu are options to work with the files stored on your
disk.~~You can select options in one of two ways:~~|| Use the up- and
down-arrow keys to highlight the item you want then press |Í¾Enter|, or~~||
press the highlighted letter for the item.

Back-upMakes a back-up copy of your data files. You must have a formatted
floppy disk ready. You can use the same back-up disk over and over again (the
new copy will over-write the old one), but it may be a good idea to alternate
at least three back-up copies.~~|NOTES|~~Use a rotating back-up scheme with at
least three sets of disks or tapes.~~When the work you've done since your last
back-up becomes too much to lose, it's time to make another back-up.~~Using
compression software requires more memory. The back-up function will only let
you choose compression software if you have enough free memory.~~|| ARJ 2.41
needs at least |300k| free~~|| LHARC 2.13 needs at least |189k| free~~||
PKZip 2.04g needs at least |157k| free

RestoreUse this to recover your data files from a back-up copy ÄÄ this is the
opposite of the Back-up function ÄÄ if data files become damaged or are
accidentally erased.~~|CAUTION|~~Restoring data files |replaces| the existing
files with the ones on the back-up disk.~~If you want to restore only |some| of
the files and not others, you must do so manually from the DOS prompt.

Format FloppiesWVH first tries to find WFF.EXE in your DOS search path. If
found, What Floppy Format? is run; otherwise, you will be asked to specify a
drive and the DOS FORMAT command will be used.~~|CAUTION|~~Formatting
completely erases any information which may be on a disk.~~|NOTES|~~Your DOS
|path| must point to |format.com| (which is probably in your DOS directory). If
it does not you will see 'Bad command or file name' flash on your screen and
disks will not be formatted.~~No parameters are passed to FORMAT ÄÄ your
drive's highest density will be used.

Reindex all filesUse this if the computer loses power abruptly or for any
other reason you seem to be missing data. This goes through the files and
re-builds each index file. It takes a while, but it sorts everything out and
your data will all be back the way you expect it to be.

Pack filesThis function removes the records you have deleted. When you delete
a record it is marked but not actually deleted. When you use this Pack function
the file is stripped of all the deleted records. The result is that the file
size shrinks, saving disk space, and the access speed may improve if you have
large files. If there are no deleted records in a file this function won't do
anything (although it is safe tu use it at any time, of course).

ExitEnd WVH (which will return you to DOS or your menu). Always exit the
programme before turning your computer's power off.

Data EntryThese screens let you enter information about the vehicles your
company has, the divisions or departments in your company, and the types of
service (usually 3,000 mile service, 6,000 mile service, etc.). Once you have
set-up your vehicles, divisions, and service codes, you can use the Maintenance
option to enter service information.

MaintenanceThis is where you enter the actual service performed on a vehicle,
including parts used. The steps in this process are:~~ |1.| Select a
vehicle~|2.| Select a service code~|3.| Select a date or "new"~|4.| Enter the
service information.~~Step 4, entering the service information, has three
windows. You can |jump| between the windows by pressing the |F6| key.~~If you
need to change to tax rate or set it to zero just use the |F3| key. You will
notice as the function of the F3 key changes the description near the bottom of
the screen changes as well. See the bottom of your screen for other special
action keys.

Labour windowMaint_LbrIn this window you enter the mechanic or shop that
performed the service, the date of the service, odometer/hour meter reading,
labour hours, and labour rate (if allowed in the Preferences/Sales Tax
set-up).~~|Function Keys|~~|| The |F5| key allows you to change the sales tax
figure. Each time you press F5 you will step through the sequence of
default-tax-rate then no-tax then special-tax-rate.~~|| Press the |F6| key to
"jump" between the three windows.~~|| Press the |F7| key to save the
information on the screen to disk and back up to the vehicle selection
window.~~|| Press the |F9| key to print a Repair Order for the service on the
screen.

MechanicMaint_MechNoThis is the first field in the Labour window of the
Maintenance data entry screen.~~Here you enter the code for the mechanic who
performed the service. Press the |F3| key to pop open a window of choices.

Parts windowMaint_PartsIn this window you enter the parts used for this
service entry. You can enter any part description and price, however if you
enter a valid inventory code then the part's description and price will be
taken from the inventory data base.~~|| Press the |F3| key to pop open a
window of inventory choices while you are on the description field.~~|| Press
the |F4| key to open a detailed information window for the line item.~~||
Press the |F6| key to "jump" between the three windows.~~|| Press the |F7| key
to save the information on the screen to disk and back up to the vehicle
selection window.~~|| Press the |F9| key to print a Repair Order for the
service on the screen.

Comments windowMaint_CmtsIn this window you can enter any comments
pertaining to the service. Anything you type here will appear on service
history reports.~~|| Press the |F6| key to "jump" between the three
windows.~~|| Press the |F7| key to save the information on the screen to disk
and back up to the vehicle selection window~~|| Press the |F9| key to print a
Repair Order for the service on the screen.

Part code/descriptionMaint_PartNoThis is the second field on each line in
the parts window of the Maintenance data entry screen.~~Here you enter a part
description or an inventory item code. Press the |F3| key to pop open a window
of inventory choices.

Customers (Divisions/Owners)This portion of the WVH data base is to keep
track of the owners of each vehicle, or the department or division within your
company which is reponsible for maintaining each one. WVH uses these Divisions
to print billing statements, which can also be used to separate the costs of
maintaining different categories of equipment.~~|EXAMPLES|~~|Within a Large
Company|~~If your company has a large fleet of vehicles, each owned by
different departments or divisions within the company, you will want to define
each department or division. As you enter each vehicle into the data base,
specify the responsible department/division for the vehicle. At regular
intervals (monthly, quarterly, or whatever your schedule is), you can print
billing statements for each division so the accounting department knows whose
budgets are being used for what and also so each department can keep track of
what their vehicles are costing them to maintain.~~|An Independent
Contractor|~~Another example might be if you are a contractor performing
maintenance for many different companies. In this case you would want to use
the divisions as "Owner codes." Set up each of your customers with a code and
then specify that code for each of their vehicles. At regular intervals you can
then print billings for each of your customers~~|A Diverse Company|~~Let's say
that you maintain a wide range of vehicles, from tractors, to big rigs, to
company cars. You might want to have separate listings for the maintenance
costs for each type of vehicle. So you could set up a division code for cars,
one for excavation equipment, one for tractor/trailers, etc. and then define
each vehicle with the appropriate code. Then you can print out billing
statements which would give you a summary of the costs to maintain each type of
vehicle.

CodeDivEdit0This is a unique 5-character code used to keep track of the
information for this customer or division. The code may contain letters and/or
numbers. A good method is to use the first two letters of a division/department
name or a customer's initials followed by a sequence number. For example, the
"Land Division" could be code "LA001", while "John Q. Public" could be code
"PJQ01". Notice that I used "PJQ" in the example instead of "JQP" so that the
codes would be sorted by the customer's last name, rather than his first name.

NameDivEdit1This is the name of the customer, division, or department that
owns or is responsible for vehicles. If you are entering a division,
department, or company enter the name of the person who is to receive the bills
on the "Contact" line.  If you are entering an individual, enter the person's
name on the first line and leave the "Contact" line blank.

ContactDivEdit2This is the name of the person within the division,
department, or organization to whom invoices and statements are sent. This
line may be left blank.

PricingDivEdit3This determines the price this customer will be charged for
parts. WVH has four different pricing levels:~~ Standard (retail price)~
Alternate price 1~ Alternate price 2~ Alternate price 3~ Cost plus
overhead~~Set up your inventory so that the price you most often sell at is
the "Standard (retail)" price, and set the "Alternate" prices to any discounts
that you give to special customers.~~If the customer is a division or
department within your company, you will probably sell parts at "Cost plus
overhead." To charge cost only (|without| any overhead mark-up), just enter
zero for overhead on the Preferences/Inventory screen.

G/L AcctDivEdit4This is the General Ledger income account number your
company uses to post earnings from this customer, division, or department. WVH
only uses this number in printing reports so that your accountant will have
this information on one report. If you post all earnings to one G/L account or
you work on a "cash system," you can leave this field blank.

VehiclesVEditUse this screen to enter & edit static information about
vehicles. (Information which changes, such as the odometer reading, is entered
on the Maintenance screen.) This screen has two windows:~~|| a code window
showing the codes for each vehicle defined, and~~|| a data window showing the
information for that vehicle code.~~You start out in the code window (you will
see a highlighted code to indicate your position; this is the computer's
|cursor|). You can move the cursor with the arrow keys and the PgUp and PgDn
keys on your keyboard. You can also locate codes by pressing a letter or number
and the window will "jump" to the codes which begin with that letter or
number.~~|Editing Existing Codes|~~To change information for an existing
vehicle code just highlight the code (as explained above) and press ÄÙEnter.
The cursor will "jump" to the right-hand window where you can modify the
information. You can use the arrow keys in the right-hand data window just like
in the code window. Notice the function keys at the bottom of the screen. To
save your changes press the |F7| key.~~|Inserting New Vehicles|~~To add new
vehicles, press the |Ins| (insert) key. WVH will jump to the bottom of the code
window and wait for you to enter a vehicle code. Codes can be anything that
makes sense to you ÄÄ a company ID number, the first letter of the manufacturer
followed by a number, etc. Each vehicle must have a unique code. Enter the code
and press ÄÙEnter and the cursor will jump to the data window. Enter whatever
is needed here and press |F7| to save.

CodeVEdit0Each vehicle must have a unique code which identifies it - this is
a "short-hand" way of referring to each vehicle. To help in locating vehicles
later on, try to use codes that make sense to you. For example, you might use
the first letter of the vehicle's manufacturer ("F" for "Ford") or you might
group vehicles by function, beginning all construction equipment with "CE",
all company cars with "CC", etc.

DescriptionVEdit1This is a short description of the vehicle.

Department/OwnerVEdit2This is the owner of a vehicle or the department or
division within a company which is responsible for it's maintenance costs. You
may enter a code or press the |F3| key to open a window of choices.

VINVEdit3This is the Vehicle's Identification Number which is stamped on
metal, usually visible through the front windshield. This "number" contains
letters, too.

LicenseVEdit4This is the code on a vehicle's license plate (letters and
numbers).

Other NumberVEdit5Off-road equipment does not usually have a VIN, but these
items do have some type of ID code, usually stamped in metal somewhere. You can
enter any extra information in this field that helps to identify a vehicle or
mechanical device.

Meter typeVEdit6This field specifies whether the vehicle has an odometer or
an hour-meter. When this field is highlighted, press the |F3| key to list the
available choices, then use the arrow keys to highlight your choice and press
ÄÙEnter.

Deleting VehiclesHighlight a vehicle code to delete then press the |Del|
(delete) key. WVH will warn you that the vehicle is about to be erased from the
data base and ask your permission to continue.

Service CodesThis allows you to enter service codes you will use to identify
the type of service given to a vehicle (e.g., 3,000 mile service, 6,000 mile
service, etc.). Special function keys are displayed at the bottom of the
screen.

CodeCode0This is a unique 5-character code used to keep track of the
information for this service type. The code may contain letters and/or numbers.
A good method is to use 1-3 letters which are part of the service type's
description followed by a sequence number. For example, the "Brake work" could
be "BRAKE", but if you want to separate more than one type of brake work you
could use "BRA01", "BRA02", etc.

DescriptionCode1This line contains a description for this type of service
(e.g., Brakes, Mufflers, Tune-up, etc.)

MechanicsUse to enter a code, hourly rate, and division/department for each
mechanic or third-party service provider. While on the Division/Owner field you
can press ®F3¯ to open a window of choices. The In-House field indicates
whether this mechanic is in-house or a third party provider (another shop). An
Employee Productivity report can be printed for in-house mechanics.~~A mechanic
is "attached" to each service record. When entering a maintenance (service)
information there is a field for the mechanic code.

CodeMech0This is a unique 5-character code used to keep track of the
information for this mechanic. The code may contain letters and/or numbers. A
good method is to use the mechanic's initials followed by a sequence number.
For example, "Frank Z. Mechanic" could be code "MFZ01". Notice that I used
"MFZ" in the example instead of "FZM" so that the codes would be sorted by the
mechanic's last name, rather than his first name.

NameMech1Enter a mechanic's name or place of service in this field.

RateMech2This is the rate at which this mechanic's or shop's time is billed
to owners/divisions.

Department/DivisionMech3This is the department or division within your
organization to which the mechanic or place of service belongs.

In house?Mech4If the mechanic or shop is part of your company, this field
should be set to "Yes." Otherwise, if you use outside services for repairs, set
it to "No."

Schedule MaintenanceAllows you to schedule vehicles for maintenance. Once
scheduled, you can print a Maintenance Schedule from the Reports menu.

InventoryThis screen lets you define all of your inventory items, including
intangible ones such as 'outside services.' Inventory items can then be used on
the Maintenance Data Entry screen: when entering parts you can type in anything
you like; if you enter an inventory item number then that item's description
and price will be inserted for you.~~See also the other Inventory help topics.

Item codeInvEdit_codeEach item must have a unique code. This is the
short-hand name by which WVH will track movement and sales figures. You may use
up to eight (8) letters and/or numbers for item codes.~~There are two methods
for reviewing or changing an existing inventory item:~1. Enter the item's
code, or~2. Press the F2 key and a window of inventory codes will appear from
which you may choose one.

Item descriptionInvEdit_descEnter up to 25 characters. This description will
be displayed on the Maintenance data entry screen and will be printed on
reports and invoices.

Unit of measureInvEdit_unitThis is the normal selling quantity. Most things
are sold singly (EACH or UNIT), others are sold as a "BOX" or "SET" or "DOZ" or
"6" or whatever works for you.

Bulk item codeInvEdit_bcodeThis is the item code that you order. For
example, you may have a «-inch nut that you call part "N0.5" but which you
order as part number "100-2938-9922-A15" from your distributor. This code will
be used as WVH learns how to handle purchase orders. :)

Bulk qtyInvEdit_bqtyThis is also known as a "conversion factor." It is the
amount of complete, sellable items you get from one bulk order. If the bulk
order is 12 cans of lubricant which you sell by the can, then the bulk quantity
is 12. If it takes two bulk orders combined to make one item (such as an
assembly) then the bulk quantity is 0.5 (one-half).

Track stock on hand?InvEdit_trackA normal inventory item, like a tire, would
have this field set to "Yes" so that the quantity in stock is tracked.
Intangible items, like block resurfacing which is farmed out to another
company, should have this field set to "No" so that quantities are not tracked.

Quantity on handInvEdit_qohThis is the amount of this item which is on-hand
(in stock) and which was purchased at the cost shown to its right.

CostInvEdit_qohcostThis is the price which was paid for the quantity shown
to the left of this figure.

Quantity on orderInvEdit_qooThis is the amount of this item which is on
order (not in stock).

Cost on orderInvEdit_qoocostThis is the expected cost of each item on order.

Selling pricesInvEdit_sellThe first column should contain the price you
normally charge for the item. The other three prices can contain any sort of
discount you are likely to give on a regular basis. You are always free to

Minimum quantityInvEdit_minqThis is the minimum quantity of the item to keep
in stock. Items which fall below this level will be included in the Inventory
Re-order report.

Maximum quantityInvEdit_maxqThis is the maximum quantity to keep on hand.
When WVH generates a purchase order, it will calculate the quantity to order as
this figure minus stock on hand.

Vendor codeInvEdit_vendThis is the code for the vendor from whom you order
this product. A future release of WVH will have vendor functions; for now this
field is for display purposes only.

Receipts & depletionsInvAdjThis window lets you quickly add to or subtract
from inventory, one item at a time.~~There are two methods for entering the
inventory code:~1. Enter an item's code, or~2. Press the F2 key and a window of
inventory codes will appear from which you may choose one.

Item codeInvAdj_codeWhen entering inventory items (on the Inventory data
entry screen) each item is assigned a unique code. This is the short-hand name
by which WVH tracks movement and sales figures for each item.~~There are two
methods for by which you can specify an inventory code:~1. Enter the code on
the keyboard, or~2. Press the F2 key and a window of inventory codes will
appear from which you may choose one.

your parts vendors.

Vendor codeVenEdit0This contains a unique code for each vendor.

Vendor nameVenEdit1This field contains the vendor's name.

Vendor addressVenEdit2This field contains the vendor's address.

Vendor addressVenEdit3This field contains the vendor's 2nd line of address
information (if necessary).

CityVenEdit4This field contains the city of the vendor's mailing address.

State/ProvinceVenEdit5This field contains the state or province
abbreviation for the vendor.

Zip/Postal CodeVenEdit6This field contains the zip code or postal code for
the vendor.

PhoneVenEdit7This field contains the vendor's phone number.

ReportsThis menu lets you display or print the information on file. You will
be asked if you want the report to go to the screen, a printer, or a disk file.

Division ListA list of divisions/departments on file.

Vehicle ListA list of vehicles on file.

Service Code ListA list of the service codes on file.

Mechanic ListA list of Mechanic codes on file. This report was formerly
called the Place Of Service/Employee list.

Maintenance HistoryThis report is a detailed maintenance history for one or
all vehicles. You may select a single vehicle or press the F10 key to report on
all vehicles.

Billing by Division/OwnerPrints billing for each division/owner, showing each
service record - parts, labour, and comments - which has not yet been billed.
When you select this option WVH first scans for unbilled service in the files
and presents a menu of owners/divisions. Select each owner/division for which
you would like a bill printed by pressing the |®SpaceBar¯|. An arrow next to a
name means that a bill will be printed.~~When the billing has been printed WVH
will ask permission to update the files. This is where WVH "remembers" which
items have been billed. If you press |Enter| then the items which were printed
will be flagged as "billed" so they will not print again using this report.

Re-print Billing by dateThis option provides the same report as the Billing
option, but it prints everything on file within a range of dates you provide,
regardless of whether it has been billed or not. Thus you may print a billing
summary to show service done for a division/owner last month, for example.

Employee ProductivityThis report shows the work done by an employee over a
given period of time.

Tickler (Vehicles Due for Svc)List of vehicles which have not been serviced
in a given time interval which you specify before printing the report.

Maintenance ScheduleLists the vehicles scheduled for maintenance between two
dates. This is useful for printing a list of vehicles due to be services today,
this week, etc. This report is |NOT YET FUNCTIONAL|.

PreferencesThis menu lets you change various settings, such as your printer
model and fonts to use for reports.

InventoryPref_InvThese settings control how the inventory is managed. Some
fields, such as the Overhead percentage, require you to enter data from the
keyboard. Others, such as the Standard Selling Price, are a selection made
from a list.~~When a field is a selection from a list, the function key
message |F3/List| will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Pressing the
F3 key or clicking twice on the same field will pop open a window containing
the list of selections; choose the desired item with a mouse or by using the
keyboard's arrow keys to highlight your choice followed by pressing the
ÄÙEnter key.

Print invoices?Pref_Inv_PrtThis field has three settings:~~1. Don't ever
print invoices~2. Always print invoices~3. After maintenance (service) data is
entered, ask if an invoice should be printed.

Next invoice numberPref_Inv_NextThis field contains the next invoice number
to be used.

Tracking methodPref_Inv_TrackInventory may be tracked in one of three
ways:~~1. FIFO (First In, First Out)~2. LIFO (Last In, First Out)~3.
Averaged~~Tracking the average cost of inventory means that you only have one
set of figures for each item; using FIFO or LIFO gives you four sets of figures
for each item. Having extra data may or may not be useful in your
business.~~You may switch between systems to try out different methods, but
keep in mind that when switching from Averaged to FIFO or LIFO, the Average
figures will initially be the only figures available until you buy and sell
items to create the FIFO or LIFO history.

Minimum quantityPref_Inv_minqThis is the minimum quantity that you want to
keep on hand. If the stock on hand reaches or goes below this level, the item
will show up on the Re-order report.

Maximum quantityPref_Inv_maxqThis is the maximum quantity that you want to
keep on hand. The purpose of this field is for use with automatic purchase
order generation (a planned feature). To use an example: If the minimum
quantity for a part is one (1) and the maximum is five (5), when the quantity
for the part reaches one WVH will suggest that you order four (4) units.

Default selling pricePref_Inv_SellWhen you enter maintenance for a vehicle,
the parts you enter are charged to the customer (owner, division, or dept.)
according to the Price Level you have set for them on the Data Entry,
Divisions/Owners screen. You can sell to customers at:~~1. Standard price
(retail)~2. Alternate/discount price 1~3. Alternate/discount price 2~4.
Alternate/discount price 3~5. Cost plus overhead~~If yours is an internal
operation (selling to other departments) you will probably use cost plus
overhead as the default selling price.

Warn out-of-stockPref_Inv_StockIf this option is set to "Yes" then WVH will
inform you if an item is out of stock; otherwise it will simply deduct whatever
quantity you use, allowing the quantity to become negative, without any
warning.~~If you check the computer |before| locating parts, set this field to
"Yes."~~If you enter maintenance in the computer |after| locating parts, set
this field to "No."

Inventory G/L accountsPref_Inv_GLThese account numbers are used for
reporting purposes only, to help you post sales & inventory figures to your
accounting books or software.
 
Miscellaneous SettingsPref_MiscThis screen contains miscellaneous settings
which affect the way WVH operates.~~1. Country determines spelling and date
formats.~~2. Directory format is not used at this time.~~3. Alert sound
determines the sound WVH will make when it encounters a problem or otherwise
needs to get your attention.

CountryPref_CountrySet the country who's standards of measurement &
expression you wish to use. This setting currently has no function in WVH. Soon
it will control the date and numerical formats.

Directory FormatPref_DirFmtPress the |F3| key to set this field ÄÄ a menu of
choices will appear from which you may highlight a choice & press
|ÄÙEnter|.~~Lists of files (on screens such as File/Open, File/Erase, etc.)
can be displayed in one of three formats:~~1. DOS file name first, followed by
size, date, and description~~2. DOS file name only~~3. Description followed by
DOS file name, size, and date.~~Files are organized alphabetically from left to
right, so option #1 will sort the list on the DOS file name whereas option #3
will sort the list according to the description.

Alert SoundPref_ErrSndPress the |F3| key to set this field ÄÄ a menu of
choices will appear from which you may highlight a choice & press
|ÄÙEnter|.~~You can specify whether you want WVH to be silent or use a tone to
alert you of errors and warnings.

PrinterPref_PtrsThis screen lets you set the printer you will be using and
the fonts for reports so that WVH can control it properly.~~|NOTES|~~You must
define a printer & fonts before you can print anything.

Setting Printer ModelPref_PtrSetYou must define the printer you will be
using so that WVH knows how to control it properly. Many printers, even
different brands, use the same control codes. If your printer is not on the
list look in your manual to find a model it emulates. Dot matrix printers are
usually Epson or IBM compatible.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key
or double-click with a mouse. A window of printer choices will "pop up" on your
screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight your choice then
press ÄÙEnter.

Printer PortPref_PtrPortThis is the "channel" WVH will use to access your
printer ÄÄ LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3. If you only have one printer it is probably
connected to LPT1.

PCL Soft Font DirectoryPref_SoftDirIf you use a PCL laser printer you can
use soft fonts (fonts stored on disk which are sent to the laser printer as
needed. When you choose the |Select a Soft Font| option when setting a PCL font
you will be given the chance to specify the drive and path on which your font
files reside. Any new information you enter here will be saved as the new
default soft font directory.

Titles FontPref_TFontSelect the font you would like to use to print report
titles. Proportionally-spaced fonts work well for titles. Titles will be bold
and underlined to stand out from the body of the report, so it's okay if you
use the same font for both the titles & body of reports.~~To set this
field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key or double-click with a mouse. A window of font
choices will "pop up" on your screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to
highlight your choice then press ÄÙEnter.~~|3.| If the font is scalable you
will be asked to enter the size of print to use.~~|LASER PRINTER
NOTES|~~Reports are printed in portrait orientation. A soft font will have to
end in .SFP to be used for report titles.

"Normal" FontPref_NFontSelect the font you would like to use to print the
body of reports. If often looks best if you pick a fixed-pitch font, such as
|Courier 10cpi| or |12cpi| (all reports are designed to fit in 8-inches at
10cpi). Fonts which have |cpi| in their names are fixed-pitch fonts. Avoid
pitches lower than 10cpi except for titles. Experiment with different fonts to
get the best results.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key or
double-click on the field with a mouse. A window of font choices will "pop up"
on your screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight your choice
then press ÄÙEnter.~~|3.| If the font is scalable you will be asked to enter
the size of print you would like to use.

Lines per pagePref_LPPEnter the number of lines (maximum) you would like
printed on a page. Most printers have a total of 66 lines on an 11" long sheet
of paper except for lasers which have 60. You will probably have a top margin,
however, which will reduce the number of printable lines, and you will probably
want a bottom margin, too. For printers with 66 lines per page a setting of 55
is good. For laser printers with 60 lines per page a setting of 50 may be
better.

Left marginPref_LMThis lets you set a left margin for your reports. To shift
reports to the right enter the number of inches, between 0 and 2

Tax & LabourPref_TaxLbrThis screen lets you set:~~1. Whether or not to allow
entry of a labour rate on the Maintenance Data Entry screen~~2. Sales tax rate
(if any) for parts (but not labour)~~3. The amount you charge for storing a
customer's vehicle~~4. The number of days before storage charges begin to
accrue.~~|NOTES|~~Set the sales tax rate as a percentage. For example, if your
sales tax rate is 6-1/4% then enter "6.25".

Allow labour...Pref_LbrThis field indicates whether you would like to enter
labour rate ($/hour) on the maintenance data entry screen and is provided to
accommodate for larger companies where the person doing data entry has nothing
to do with setting the rate charged for labour. This lets you operate several
ways:~~1. If the labour rate is fixed according to the mechanic or shop
providing the service, you can set this field to |No| and set up each service
provider with that hourly rate (on the Mechanics data entry screen).~~2. If the
labour rate varies for different types of service, you can set this field to
|No| and enter the rates on the Types of Service data entry screen.~~3. If you
want the person entering service information to be able to change the labour
rate as service information is entered, then set this field to |Yes|.

Sales TaxPref_TaxHere is where you set your sales tax rate for your area.
This can be the rate you charge your customers or the rate that you get charged
by your service centres ÄÄ it works the same either way.~~Enter fractions as
decimals:~1/2 is .5~1/4 is .25~1/8 is .125~~For other fractions just take a
calculator and punch in the division. For example, for 7-3/4% sales tax punch
in "3" divided by "4" and you'll get ".75", so 7-3/4% is 7.75% in decimal
form.~~The sales tax rate you enter is the default ÄÄ the one which will apply
to most of your entries. When you need a different tax rate (or zero tax) you
can use the F3 toggle shown at the bottom of the Maintenance Data Entry screen.

Daily storage chargePref_StorThis is the dollar amount that you will charge
customers who leave their vehicles with you after repairs are completed.~~WVH
remembers the date the work was completed. Then when you actually print the
invoice WVH checks the number of days which have elapsed and applies the
storage charge, if necessary.

Charge storage after...Pref_StorDyThis field tells WVH when to start
applying a storage charge. Once you enter the maintenance for a vehicle and
save it as an Invoice (rather than an Estimate or Repair Order) WVH remembers
the date the work was completed. Then when you actually print the invoice WVH
checks the number of days which have elapsed and applies the storage charge, if
necessary.
