7 IntroductionOverview Welcome to Manager and Manager Plus. These products represent the culmination of decades of experience in the hands-on management of automobile repair products are comprehensive shop management systems which use the best database management technology available to provide an automated approach to creating estimates, repair orders, and invoices. Reporting features are available which allow you to track and easily access the information you need to run your shop in an efficient and profitable and Manager PlusManager is a subset of Manager Plus. The primary difference between the two systems is that Manager Plus includes inventory management and purchasing functions.

8 A corollary result is additional reporting capabilities for Manager Plus users. The relationship is depicted graphically in the figure to the this User's GuideThis User's GUIDE is structured to serve users of Manager and Manager Plus. By describing all of the features available in the Manager Plus, all of the features available in both programs are documented. For the sake of simplicity, the title Manager, is used generically throughout this User's GUIDE to refer to both Chapter 1 As such, there are some features described in the book which do not apply to users of Manager I. Description of these features is concentrated, as much as possible, in Chapter 11, Inventory, and in Chapter 12, Purchase Orders.

9 If you are a Manager user, you can simply ignore these chapters as well as the occasional reference to an inventory or purchasing function in other chapters of the , if you are not a purchaser of Mitchell Parts and Labor GUIDE (MPLG) program, you can disregard the information in Chapter 7, Parts and Labor Interface. How Manager WorksManaging your shop with Managers essentially a seven-step process. These steps are explained in detail 1 - Set up Information about your ShopBefore you can begin working with Manager, you must enter certain information about your shop. You must enter rate information (labor, parts mark-up, tax rates, etc.) and administrative information (shop name, technicians).

10 Step 2 - Set up a Parts and Labor Database for your ShopWhen you go to build an Order (Estimate, Repair Order, or Invoice) you will need to know what parts to use and the amount of labor time that will be required. To accomplish this efficiently, you need to maintain a database of the parts that your shop uses on a daily basis. You will want to have Part Kits set up for parts that are frequently used in combination with one another. You will want to have Canned Jobs set up for parts and labor operations required for frequently performed jobs such as alignment jobs. Finally, you will want to set up the Tire, Lube and Oil Filter, and Brake 3 - Create EstimateCreating estimates quickly and accurately is central to the success of your allows you to tap into your parts and labor database to build estimates without wading through stacks of thick books.
