Initial Rental Calculator

If you have a ratebook with rentals at one initial payment multiple, and you need to convert it to one or more other multiples, the Initial Payment Calculator is what you need. Prerequisites: 

1. Your source ratebook must be in CSV format.

2. You must have access to the Ratebook Initial Rental Calc Dataloader type.

Once both of these are in place, you can proceed as follows:

1. Log in at https://dataloader.quotevineapp.com using your normal Accelerate credentials. If you are not able to log in then please speak to your Accelerate administrator.

1. Select Ratebook Initial Rental Calc as the data type, and select your source file. If your source file is very big you can zip it before upload to shorten the upload time.

1. Configure the system to understand which of the columns in your source file contain the Term, Monthly Payment and Initial Rentals. If your source format doesn't have an Initial Rentals column, select - No Initial Rental Column - and then manually enter the number of initial rentals that your source file was calculated at in the Number of Initial Rentals field.

1. Select one or more target initial rentals. In the example above I have a 6+ ratebook, which I am converting to 1,3,9 and 12 initial rentals.

1. Press confirm. The calculations will be performed and you will be sent an email containing your original file, and the calculated new files.

Note that the billing metric for the service is the number of calculations performed. So - if you have a 10,000 row ratebook at 6+, which you convert to 1, 3, 9 and 12+; that will be 40,000 calculations.
