Assignment of VMS Roles

This function enables you to define, on the basis of a role concept, that each user in Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) can edit only the vehicle model that has been assigned to them explicitly on the basis of a role with vehicle models.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Vehicle Management System (VMS), you have created each of the VMS roles with key and description by choosing Define VMS Roles.

Features

VSS differentiates between the following VMS roles:
Vehicle Model Role
This role is assigned vehicle models, that is, the vehicle model role specifies which vehicle models the system displays in the vehicle model list for the assigned user. A vehicle model can be assigned to more than one vehicle model role using transaction VELORM.
Organizational Role
If you wish to use category management during the vehicle search, assign vehicle categories to the organizational role in Customizing for VMS under Vehicle Search > Vehicle Search Areas > Assign Roles and Vehicle Categories. You can find further information on the use of category management in Customizing under Logistics Execution > Vehicle Management System (VMS) > Vehicle Search > Vehicle Search Areas.

Activities

Assign the vehicle model roles to vehicle models (transaction VELORM - Assign Vehicle Model).
Assign one or more vehicle model roles to each user and, if you wish, also an organizational role (transaction VELORU - Assign User Roles).
