If your dealership is setup with a Central Title Clerk and F&I workstations, Title & Registration transactions will be processed in two separate steps. The first step to place the registration in Pending status. The second step will finalize the registration and place it in Complete status.
Pending Transactions
To initially transmit a Title & Registration, use the Prelim button.
Upon successful transmission, the transaction will be placed in Pending status. The F&I representative will be able to issue appropriate tag and stickers.
Complete Transactions
As part of PA EVR's automated Overnight Processing, the Pending deals will automatically be retrieved by the Central Title Clerk workstation for editing and to be finalized. To finalize a transaction on the PennDOT system, the transaction must be transmitted a second time. To submit a finalized transaction, click on the button. Upon successful transmission, the status will change to Complete.
Central Title Clerk and Single Workstations can choose to COMPLETE the transaction in a single process. Central Title Clerk would always COMPLETE transactions retrieved from F&I workstations.
Note: Title Only and Standard Renewal transactions are completed in a single (one-step) process. To submit these transactions, only the Prelim button is needed. The Prelim will display the assigning inventory and the fees associated with the Title Only or the Standard Renewal.
