Informational: Steps to Generate RTS Reports (10/02/2024 @ 11:15 AM)

Good morning,

If you are currently having any reporting issues, please follow the below
instructions as needed.


If you need Inventory Action report or Title Package report:

Rerun Inventory Action report:

Step 1: Go to Inventory, Inventory Action Report
Step 2:  Put in 10/1/2024 for report date.

Rerun Title Package Report:

Step 1: Go to Reports, Title Package Report
Step 2:  Put in 10/1/2024 for report date.


If you don’t do the steps below, then 10/1/2024 and 10/2/2024 will be
combined together in tomorrow’s reports.  

Note: These are broken down into Main office and Substation instructions.  

It would be best for substations to run their substations summary steps
first and then Main offices.  But if done out of order then Main office will
just need to rerun Countywide again to get the substation information. 


For Main offices instructions only:

Step 1.  Go to Funds, Funds Management, Rerun Substation Summary    
Step 2 . Enter 10/1/2024 for the Report Date    
Step 3.  Choose Cash Drawers that were closed out for yesterday’s work only,
               including Cash Drawer 99    
Step 4.  When prompted to Confirm Action CLT001, please confirm for the
              10/1/2024 date    
Step 5.  Once Steps 1 to 4 are completed, go to  Funds, Funds Management,
              rerun Countywide
Step 6.  Enter 10/1/2023 for the Report Date             
Step 7.  Click Enter


For Substations instructions only: 

Step 1.  Go to Funds, Funds Management, Rerun Substation Summary    
Step 2 . Enter 10/1/2024 for the Report Date    
Step 3.  Choose Cash Drawers that were closed out for yesterday’s work only.
Step 4.  When prompted to Confirm Action CLT001, please confirm for the
              10/1/2024 date    
Step 5.  Once Steps 1 to 4 are completed, Call your main office to rerun
              Countywide via Funds, funds Management. 

 

Thank you,

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles 
IT Services Division
