The dialog box
Car Rental Availability: Vehicle List
shows you the currently available vehicles of the specified provider at the pickup location for the relevant time period. The list is sorted by rate and possibly by priority, in ascending order. The list also uses special optical indicators to give you information as to which vehicles correspond to your car preferences and possible class rules for car rentals as specified in Customizing and valid for your travel profile (see Customizing for
SAP Travel Planning
under
Trip Rules and Profiles
).
You can choose a vehicle here that will be copied to your travel plan with the status
