The basic type of a vehicle of which there can be several variations. Vehicle models are defined in the SAP system as configurable materials with additional model data. You can use the same material master record for several different vehicle models.

Model Prices
The model purchase price and the model sales price are the base prices for the vehicle model. When you create a vehicle sales order or a vehicle sales quotation for a vehicle of pricing type 1, the system copies these prices from the vehicle master to the vehicle item within the VSS order document.
The model prices do not contain the prices for additional vehicle features. The feature prices can be maintained separately for each feature key.
The model prices are only relevant when price type 1 (New Vehicles) applies for the vehicle's business transaction type. For more information, see Customizing for Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) under Vehicle > Vehicle Master > Define Business Transaction Type.
Engine Data
The engine data specify the main information around the vehicle engine – split into areas like engine type, efficiency, capacities, performance, consumption, electric range and charging times.
For some units of measure fields like e.g. “L” for the Fuel Tank Capacity you can define proposals ba by parameter values in the customizing for Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) under Vehicle > Define Control Values > Define Unit of Measurement Control Value.
You can define some values, for example Fuel Type, Battery Type or Charging Type in customizing for Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) under Vehicle > General Data.
The data entered in this section does not influence the business process but serves information purposes only.
Material Data
Each vehicle model must be assigned to a material master record. The material master must be a configurable material.
When creating a vehicle model, you can assign an existing material master record to the vehicle model.
Alternatively, you can create a new material master record for the vehicle model. This only works if an appropriate material master record is already assigned to the model catalog to which the vehicle model will belong to as vehicle reference material. The reason for this is that in the vehicle model master, hardly any material master data can be provided so that for a new material master, most data is copied from the vehicle reference material assigned to the model catalog.
The material master used for vehicle models needs to fulfill certain prerequisites. The most important are:
