Why:
TDS Enquiry allows you to enquire on and download vehicle order information in the importer system TDS.
Where:
On the Vehicle Order View, highlight the vehicle order you wish to work with, right-click and select TDS Enquiry. This will display the TDS Enquiry window for the selected vehicle order.
How to Perform TDS Enquiries:
Enter the required Dealer Number and Factory Stock Order Number and click OK. Depending on the setup of your system, entry of dealer number may not be allowed. If this is the case, Dealer Number will default to the dealer number of the current branch and may not be changed.
This is the number by which TDS will recognise your vehicle order. It is only necessary to enter this number the first time you use TDS Enquiry for a given vehicle. Thereafter, it will be stored within Fusion.
If TDS does not recognise the Factory Stock Order Number, or if the number entered is allocated to another dealer, an appropriate error message will be displayed.
If the order is found, Fusion retrieves the data from TDS. The Chassis Variant Differences window displays the TDS values against the current Fusion values for Chassis Type, Engine Description, Gearbox Description, Rear Axle Type, Axle Arrangement, Chassis Series, Chassis Number, Marketing Type and Variant Codes. Click Next to proceed to the next window.
The Factory Order Details window has two tabs. The Basic Details tab displays TDS values for various factory dates/statuses and prices. The Additional Details tab displays TDS values for the detailed vehicle specification.
Click Update to update Fusion with the following TDS values: Chassis Series, Chassis Number, Marketing Type, Wheel Base, Cab Type, VIN, Factory Status, Factory Status Date, Factory Order Reference and Confirmed Delivery Date. LCD is updated based on the Factory Build Date.
Depending on the setup of your system, the five main vehicle variant descriptions may also be updated. If this facility is enabled, Fusion will attempt to match the TDS Description with the descriptions on the corresponding Fusion Variant Table. If no match can be found, the default variant will be used.
If any of the variants are changed, or the chassis number is updated, or LCD or CDC changes, the administrator will receive an e-mail notification. E-mail notification is also sent if the today order number is no longer in the TDS system.
Depending on the setup of your system, the stock ID of the current vehicle order may be replaced by the Factory Stock Order Number. If this facility is enabled, the stock ID will be changed automatically to the Factory Stock Order Number or the Sales Order Number; except where the number already exists as a stock ID for another vehicle order or where transactions exist for the current vehicle order, in which case the current stock ID will be left unchanged.
Click Close to exit the TDS Enquiry routine without updating Fusion.
