Advent eContracting Integration

Setting Up 

---

This guide will explain how to submit a deal to Ford Motor Credit or Toyota/Lexus using eContracting through RouteOne. For complete integration details, including the setup process, please review the Ford eContracting or Toyota/Lexus eContracting setup page in the Advent support site. 

 

eContracting a Deal 

---

Within the Advent system, submit an eContracting deal through the Advent Deal Screen. 

Once a deal has been submitted, log into RouteOne to view the contract, make any necessary changes, and then submit the deal to a respective lender. 

Choosing a Finance Source 

Within the Advent system, on the main deal screen, arrow down to ‘Lender’, and click F1 for a list of lenders. Choose your respective lender. 

 

Submitting a Deal 

From the ‘Change Deal’ screen: select ‘F2 - Additional Functions’, ‘B - Vendor Interfaces’, ‘7 - eContracting Integrations’, ‘5 – Toyota’, then ‘6 – Ford’. Enter the document number to be printed. 

Make any changes needed on the ‘Additional Input’ screen, and click F9 to open the ‘Contract Submit’ screen.  

Click the ‘Submit’ button. 

 

On the ‘Load Contract’ screen, select Enter. You will have the option to print the paper contract or continue to eContracting without printing the paper contract.  

To print the paper contract, click F9. 

To continue without printing the contract, click F8. 

 

 

To view the contract and complete the submission to a finance source, log into the RouteOne system. 

 

Completing a Contract in RouteOne 

---

Within the RouteOne system, click ‘Contract Manager’ under the ‘Deals’ tab.  

Your uploaded contract will show a status of DSP Import. 

Click on the contract status of DSP Import. 

 

If more than one credit decision in RouteOne matches the contract imported from a DSP, a selection screen prompts you to select the correct match, or you can click ‘Create New Credit Application’ to open an application. 

After making your selection, click the ‘Save & Continue’ button. 

The RouteOne Contract Worksheet will open and be populated with information uploaded from your system. 

Enter any missing data required by the finance source. 

If the selected finance source supports Data Validation, click the ‘Validate’ button. 

If the selected finance source does not support Data Validation, or if you are not performing validation on this particular contract, click the ‘Save’ button to complete the eContract. 

 

Editing an eContract 

---

Within the RouteOne system, click ‘Contract Manager’ under the ‘Deals’ tab.  

Click the customer name of the contract you wish to edit.  

On Contract Worksheet page, click the appropriate link within the eDocuments box, then click the ‘Edit’ button. 

Make any required corrections and proceed forward with Data Validation or Contract Generation. 

To edit the eContract, navigate back to your system, make the necessary edits, and follow the steps above for uploading a contract to re‐import the contract into RouteOne. 

If documentation has already been generated in the RouteOne system, you can only re-import by deleting the PDF version of the eContract by clicking the ‘Contract’ button on the Contract Package page. Clicking this button will delete the contract package and return you to the Contract Worksheet so that you may re‐generate the contract package. 

You may complete the eContracting process within RouteOne. 

 

DMS Custom Mapping 

---

When a DMS deal is imported to RouteOne, any elements coming in the ‘Options’ or ‘Other Charges’ sections are defaulted to the Cash Price field. RouteOne can provide a dealership with the option of mapping these products to the field of the dealer’s choosing.  If a dealer prefers it to remain in the Cash Price, just click the ‘Save’ button. 

The DMS Custom Mapping page will appear one time, after a DMS imported deal has been selected for eContracting, or for new fields that have not yet been mapped on the contract worksheet.  Any elements coming in the ‘Options’ or ‘Other Charges’ sections will be available for the dealer to customize the mapping (by clicking the ‘Make Selection’ drop-down menu for each item, and then click the ‘Save’ button). Once the mapping selections have been made, a dealership will not be prompted to map those products again on future deals. 

 

Dealers may also delete their custom mapping by using the permissions provided within the System Administrator user profile by clicking ‘Dealer Info’ in the ‘Admin’ tab. On the Dealer Information page, in the eContracting section, click the ‘Maintain eContracting Information’ link.  

You will be directed to the eContract Details page. Click the ‘Click this link to remove all custom DMS import mapping’ link within the Custom DMS Mapping section. 

 

Confirming Matching Monthly Payment Amounts 

---

In order to improve functionality, RouteOne has a feature that allows dealers to adjust the Monthly Payment Amount to match their DMS system, while remaining within the acceptable tolerance APR limit. 

To update the contract worksheet so that the monthly payment amount due matches the payment amount imported by the DMS, follow these steps: 

• The payment schedule will be populated with values directly from the DMS. 
• Simply tab out of the APR or term field, in order to run the RouteOne calculations. 
• If there is a discrepancy between the RouteOne calculated monthly payment, and the payment amount from the DMS, type the DMS payment into the ‘DMS calculated monthly payment’ field.  
• After entering an acceptable amount in the ‘DMS calculated monthly payment’ field, click the ‘Verify and Apply’ button. The system will respond back with a reminder text at the bottom of the TIL section and a pop-up alerting the user that the DMS calculated monthly payment has been applied successfully.
