What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Fleet Accounting and Reporting System, as described in Item 23, provides Budget licensees with the ability to add, update, repurchase, and display accounting information for vehicles in the Accounting System. This system also allows for the entry of Authorization Numbers and Sale Amounts when cash is received for a Vehicle Sale.
This system enables licensees to establish up to 99 different depreciation and/or interest calculations per fleet owner. The financial information related to purchase, depreciation, interest, and sales are reported for posting into the local general ledger. Several reports are provided, including overnight reconciliation reports for vehicle additions, changes, and sales.
Specifically, the Monthly Inventory Report is a detailed listing of purchases, sales, and turn backs, grouped by status code. The Motor Vehicle Fleet Summary summarizes all vehicles on the Monthly Inventory Report. These reports are crucial for managing and tracking the Budget franchisee's vehicle fleet, which is their primary inventory. The FDD also mentions reports for monthly salvage vehicle sales, miscellaneous sales accounts, a fleet journal entry report, and a reconciliation report to ensure consistency between Wizard and Fleet Accounting systems, as well as a Fleet Activity Report.
