Why:

The Vehicle File is where vehicle information is held for all vehicles that have visited the dealer. Newer vehicle details will usually have been downloaded from Volvo central systems, but vehicle details can also be added to the Vehicle File manually for older vehicles or for other franchises.

 

Where:

The Vehicle View lists all vehicles of which information is held in the Vehicle File. From the Vehicle View, individual records can be opened for viewing and amendments as well as deletion. Vehicles are listed by registration number and the ‘Filter’ function can be used to search for a particular vehicle or selection of vehicles.

 

Opening a vehicle record will display the Vehicle Maintenance window containing vehicle information such as; VIN information, Retail (Delivery) date, pricing rules, warranty and contract details.

If a Volvo vehicle has been added manually to the system with a delivery date greater than 01-01-1984, then the user will be prompted to download the information from Central systems. If the download is not required un-check the VDA box to open the existing record.

From the Vehicle Maintenance window, selecting Actions from the menu bar will display a drop-down menu where you can access details for the selected vehicle relating to vehicle coverage, schedules, Local campaigns, costing, service history, vehicle notes and associated customers. Clicking the Vehicle Equipment button  displays a notes window where any additional equipment that has been added to the vehicle can be recorded. There is also a vehicle notes function. Click on the Vehicle Notes button  to display a notes window where information about the vehicle can be added. This notes window can also be accessed and updated from within order entry.
