Why:
Details of Volvo vehicles (and MACK) can be downloaded from central systems to the Vehicle File, so if you have a vehicle that cannot be downloaded and will be a regular visitor to the dealership then you may want to add its details manually. That way, whenever it comes into the workshop Fusion can recall its details automatically.
Where:
Vehicles can be manually added to the Vehicle File from the Vehicle View or downloaded from central systems in the Workshop Order View.
In the Vehicle View, select
File > New or select the New button 
.
How to Add:Vehicles to the Vehicle Master File:
In the New Vehicle window, input the vehicle registration number. A Create Vehicle window is then displayed to inform you that Fusion doesn't recognise the registration number. To download the vehicle from Central systems you must input the chassis series, chassis number and customer number and make sure that the VDA box is checked before clicking OK.
To add a vehicle manually, do as explained above but this time un-check the VDA box and input the relevant product code, model and delivery date and then click OK.
The Vehicle Maintenance screen is where the main vehicle data is held. You should try to input as much information as you can in here for vehicles that have been added manually (although some fields relate only to Volvo vehicles).
Once you've entered all the information you can, click Save and Close. Select the ‘Refresh’ icon and the vehicle you've just added will now appear in the list in the main vehicle view.
