Description

What does the action do?

Notes

SOCD

Save customer’s desired configuration

  

Saves additional configuration for vehicle

This action serves above all to store a desired configuration for the vehicle which you can then later compare with the actual configuration

SMOD

Change vehicle

Defined values in VMS Customizing for vehicle usage, vehicle search area and sharing level

Defined qualifiers in Customizing and assignment to action SMOD

Allows changes to vehicle attributes and qualifiers (see also in VMS Customizing under Enhancements ® Program Actions and Enhancements ® Define Additional Data for Vehicles

Example for an action that works with additional data (filled by additional fields on the initial screen) and with qualifiers (ALV list on entry screen)

You can program any number of such actions that work with different fields

CORR

Correct status (without check)

  

Internal action that, in contrast to the other actions, is not actually an action since it does not link to a primary or secondary matrix

If you execute transaction VELOE (Emergency Monitoring), which you can use to change the vehicle status in case of an error, an entry is written to the vehicle history so that the status conversion is logged The action CORR is written to the history

This action cannot be started manually using transaction VELO

HIDE

Exclude vehicle from search

  

Sets the vehicle attribute from displayed to not displayed

The dealer usually performs this action in the MTS Scenario as soon as he has bought a vehicle so that other dealers do not have access to the vehicle

Default setting = vehicles not displayed

The actions HIDE and SHOW have no effect in themselves – only in combination with one of the following two implementations:

1. You can use the visibility dependently of the VMS role (dealer, importer) as parameter when selecting vehicles from the database (BAdI VLC_SEARCH_ADAPTION)

2. You can use the visibility according to the selection in Category Management (vehicle filter) as parameter The second option has the disadvantage that the performance is not as good, since many vehicles are selected that are not needed later

SHOW

Include vehicle in search

  

Sets the vehicle to visible/displayed in the vehicle attributes

CAMP

Assign sales campaign

Values for sales campaign (transaction VELOC)

Sets the vehicle attribute Sales campaign to a new value

The point of this action is to trigger pricing again in the sales order (due to assigned sales campaign) There are two options:

1. You can add the field as an object characteristic to the vehicle configuration (see: Adding Object Characteristics to the Configuration)

2. You can use the options for flexible enhancements to SD pricing

LCTN

Set vehicle location

Values for vehicle location in Customizing for VMS (transaction OVELO)
