Adding a Retail Deal
This provides details on adding and contracting a deal in IDMS, as well as taking a deposit and funding.
In IDMS, you can add a retail deal or a wholesale deal. A retail deal can consist of four different types of deals in the system.
- IDMS Lender Finance is chosen when the dealer is submitting the deal to the bank or credit union through RouteOne/CUDL/LenderSocket.
- Local Lender Finance is chosen when the dealer is submitting the paperwork to the bank or credit union manually (or through some other means that does not involve IDMS).
- In House Finance (Buy Here Pay Here) is a deal that the dealer collects all the payments on internally.
-
Cash deal still requires customer information but is a one-time payment, and no financing occurs.
