Data Overview

Here you can display all the important vehicle data in summarized form.

When you enter the mileage for the vehicle in the vehicle order, the system automatically updates the data in the appropriate vehicle master record.

SAP Internal Technical Data

The underlying technical DBM VSS vehicle data for the VMS vehicle, the individual object, and the vehicle model are displayed here.

This data helps SAP support find errors more easily.

VMS Vehicle History

The actions carried out for the vehicle including date, time, primary status, and secondary status are documented here. The vehicle history shows which user performed which action, at what time, and which status change resulted. You can display the document that is created from an action (see Action Control During Vehicle Processing and Execution of Vehicle Actions).

VMS General Data

Important vehicle data, such as vehicle identification number (VIN), availability, vehicle location, and primary and secondary status, is displayed here.

VMS Qualifier

Model Data

Important vehicle model data is entered here such as the sales code and service code for the vehicle. The system copies the model data from the vehicle model. This data can be changed for the vehicle.

Vehicle Data

You can enter important additional vehicle data mainly for service such as the labor value main type and price group, for example. For a vehicle or service order, the system copies the price group from the vehicle data.

Partners

You can assign customers appropriate partner functions. When you assign a customer to the vehicle, the system assigns this customer as sold-to party. The system assigns further partner functions with standard partner determination functions that are triggered by the action Assign Customer. Furthermore, you can add or remove partners manually.

When you create an order for a vehicle, the system copies the partner data defined for the vehicle as default values in the order.

The Owner and Driver partner functions are relevant for the vehicle. The driver information is required if there is a different driver for the vehicle than the customer. You can use this function, for example, for fleet customers. The system determines the Owner information based on the billing document. The owner is the legal owner of the vehicle.

Registration

Here you can enter registration data such as the type and date of vehicle registration, for example. The system updates the mileage and the owner.

When you create an order for the vehicle, the system copies the license plate number and the mileage of the current entry to the order header. You can overwrite the mileage in the order.

Warranty

You can define warranty conditions for the vehicle. If you create a vehicle, the system copies the valid warranty conditions according to country, division, and vehicle model, which you can later change. The system displays the warranty data in the order for the vehicle.

Options

You can assign features to the vehicle, which you can group into features classes and features categories.

The system copies the standard features from the vehicle model. You can add further features classes in the vehicle master record. To do this, you can use the input help that stems from the entries made in the vehicle model, or enter other features keys.

When you create a vehicle quotation or a vehicle order, the system copies the vehicle and the features with the appropriate prices as items to the order.
