Departments, sold-month GP, and average overhead reporting
Autopilot 0.7.5 separates sales channels from departments, moves GP reporting to sold-month attribution, adds average overhead reporting, and refreshes the changelog browser.
Changes & improvements
Autopilot 0.7.5 is a reporting and operations release that makes channels, departments, and monthly GP speak the same language across the app.
Sales channel departments
Sales channels now represent the yard, brand, or reporting line. Departments such as Retail, Fleet, Wholesale, or custom lanes now live inside each sales channel.
New channels require at least one department, existing channels are backfilled with Retail, and deals now carry a department alongside their sales channel.
Deal creation, imports, onboarding, sample data, Deal Detail, Sales Log sourcing, and sales-channel changes now resolve or validate department assignment so deals stay attached to the correct operating lane.
Pipeline stages and sourcing-status mappings are now scoped by department. The Pipeline page gets a department selector, and editing a department clears stale one-deal stage overrides so cards do not land in the wrong department pipeline.
Sold-month GP
Monthly GP reporting now uses sold-month language instead of splitting the app between Actual and Covered.
Sold month uses invoice date when it exists, otherwise estimated delivery date, and only confirmed sold deals count in the sold view.
Dashboard GP, the Gross Profit workbench, Daily Summary, target pace, pivot reports, projected GP, and the calculation help article now use the same sold-month basis and labels.
Daily Sales Report now keeps non-draft written deals visible when they have an invoice date or estimated delivery date, even if VIN or order details are still pending.
Projection defaults now favor sold plus written run-rate, replacing invoice-only defaults so month-end forecasts follow the dealership's current sold pipeline more closely.
Average overhead
Calculation settings now include Average overhead: one dealership-wide monthly operating-cost reference.
Targets, Monthly Pace, the Performance dashboard widget, Daily Summary, and Projected GP can show that overhead reference without changing deal GP, targets, or sales-channel allocations.
Projected GP now shows projected and pace variance after overhead when the report is looking at a calendar month.
Reporting and changelog polish
Pivot reporting can now filter and group by department, including channel/department, department/salesperson, salesperson/department, and department/make views. Excel exports include the selected department filter in their metadata.
Daily Sales Report now shows draft potential separately by channel so draft write-ups such as KGM appear without being counted as sold totals.
The public changelog now reads markdown content directly and includes a release browser, replacing the old in-code changelog data file.
