COMMENTS
  • Internal sales of sublet repairs should be recorded at actual cost, without mark-up, as the dealership has not incurred any overhead costs thereon.
  • To insure that customers are billed on repair orders for applicable sublet repairs, a purchase order should be issued for each sublet transaction and the purchase order, repair order and vendor invoice should be appropriately cross-referenced.
