• Site name - Name of your site as you want it reflected in your export settings file

    • If all vehicles available for the VIN are unvalued (Loan = $0), the process will return the Default vehicle for the record in question
  • High value - Return the vehicle with the highest (non-$0) Loan value for the VIN in question
    • If all vehicles available for the VIN are unvalued (Loan = $0), the process will return the Default vehicle for the record in question
  • Build - Utilize the new VIN Configuration data to select the appropriate vehicle for the unique VIN in question and may also add additional option/accessory values based on the same data
