Merging an Assignment with a Manually Created Workfile

Insurance and Carwise Appointment assignments can be merged with unlocked workfiles that you have created. A DRP or non-DRP assignment can be merged with an open external workfile. An assignment can be merged with a manually created workfile if a standard vehicle has been selected from the MOTOR database, and the estimate has not been locked. Other conditions that apply are:

• Manually created workfile without estimate lines merges with a Copied Workfile
• Manually created workfile with or without estimate lines merges with an EMS Assignment
