This original draft was created by Dealermade, for the purpose of catering to our clients preexisting DMSes. Specifically, with creating inventory export reports. The intention is to assist the users in the operation of these systems for exporting reports; and to permit the users to further clarify and expand on the donated content.

Book Organization

This book is organized in two fashions, one section has information prevalent to all DMSes. The other section is specific to each provider. Each one of the provider-specific sections is a sub-book named after the manufacturer of the system. No single dealer should employ more than one system, produced by a single manufacturer.
