# Declined Services

****Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software**** enables recommended services declined by a customer to be recorded, tracked, and followed up without removing them from the Work Order.

[Declined lines](/gtx/docs/declined-services#declining-services) stay visible on orders, so staff can see what was recommended and why they were not carried out.

[Automatic follow-ups](/gtx/docs/declined-services#declined-service-followups) can also be created for declined services, prompting future contact with the customer.

[Previously declined services](/gtx/docs/declined-services#previously-declined-services) can then be [imported into new orders](/gtx/docs/declined-services#importing-declined-services), so the recommendation can be actioned later without re-entering the details.

Services can also be [marked as lost](/gtx/docs/declined-services#lost-services)when the work has been carried out elsewhere, removing them from future follow-up.

To enable Declined Services in your GTX system, please [contact the Megabus Support Team](https://www.megabus.com.au/support).

## Declining Services

**To Decline a service:**

- Select the **line** to be declined
- Click the **Decline** icon at the top of the list
- Select the **reason for declining** from the pop-up that appears

The line will be **marked as declined** and highlighted in red, with the price crossed out.

Declined lines **remain on orders for reference** but are not included in the Order Total.

Products allocated to declined lines will be **released from allocation** so that they can be allocated to other orders.

Note

If a declined line belongs to a **Package** all related lines will be declined.

Warning

- **Remark**, **Claim** and **Trade-In** lines cannot be declined on their own
- You **cannot decline the last/only line** on an order

### Accepting Declined Services

**To accept a declined service:**

- Select the declined line
- Click the **Decline** icon at the top of the list again

The line text will be **re-opened**, unhighlighted and its price added to the order total.

Stock for the line will be also **re-allocated** where relevant.

Note

**Product codes** on declined lines cannot be changed until they are accepted.

## Previously Declined Services

A **Declined Services** tab is available on the following modules:

- **Work Order Entry**
- **Work Order Enquiry**
- **AutoTracker Enquiry**
- **Planner Bookings**

These tabs list **all previously declined services** recorded against the selected vehicle.

### Importing Declined Services

**To Import a declined service to another order:**

- Select the **Customer** or **Vehicle** with a declined service on a new work order
- Open the **Declined Services** tab at the top of the Line Details list
- **Select** the declined service to import
- Click on the **Import** button ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/d7282b31-60c4-41e6-bf87-3f684d4da049/Images/Documentation/image-9DYFYBAY.png) at the top-right of the tab

The line will be marked as **Imported** and added to the order's **Line Details** list.

- The imported line will use the **current price** rather than the price at the time it was declined
- The price can be **adjusted manually** if required

Note

You cannot import a service that was declined on an **open work order**. The original order that the service was declined on must be **Invoiced** before it can be imported.

## Declined Service Follow-Ups

Follow-ups can be automatically added against declined services after a relevant invoice is finalised, to prompt future contact with the customer.

The follow-up will appear with the reason **Decl** in the following locations:

- **AutoTracker Enquiry** > [Vehicle] > Transactions tab > Follow Up Reminders (on right)
- Main > Customers > **Customer Follow-Ups**
- **Business Planner** > Open Follow-Ups tab (select future date)

To enable automatic follow-ups for declined services in your GTX system, please [contact the Megabus Support Team](https://www.megabus.com.au/support).

### Lost Services

Marking services as **Lost** indicates the work was carried out elsewhere and they will not be followed up further.

Services can be marked as lost by:

- Opening them from the relevant **work order**
- Double-clicking on them in the **Business Planner**'s **[Open Follow-Ups](/gtx/docs/declined-services#declined-service-followups)** list

**To mark a service as lost:**

- Click on the **Declined Services** tab
- Select the **Customer** or **Vehicle** with a declined service on a new work order

The service will be highlighted in **red** and can no longer be imported into other orders.
