In Customizing for Vehicle Sales and Service you can define additional business transaction types.
Business transaction types are usually assigned to different valuation classes. You can specify how valuation data is handled for vehicles. This allows vehicle stock values to be posted to the same, or different, G/L accounts depending on the material type.

Certain business process steps for vehicle actions have been moved into the life cycle management so that you can control the behavior of these actions in the system. You see the vehicle actions in the Customizing for Logistics Execution under Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) > Vehicle > Vehicle Master > Vehicle Life Cycle Management > Define Life Cycle Control, where you link the vehicle actions to so-called vehicle life cycle acts.
A vehicle life cycle act is not a complete or standalone vehicle action but part of a vehicle action. It can precede or follow the vehicle action to which it is linked. A life cycle act can be considered as an encapsulated business process step such as creating an internal order, changing valuation class, changing business transaction type or even deleting sales organization data.
The vehicle life cycle acts are never executed for their own sake. They are always assigned to a certain action and therefore to a certain step in the vehicle life cycle.
