SAP Vehicle Management System (IS-A-VMS) Online Training

A vehicle is the result of utilizing a create action in VMS to create a vehicle for a vehicle
model. It is therefore, an instance of a vehicle model, or an individual object. A
configuration is always created for a vehicle; the attribute in the configuration may have not
yet had any values reserve to them, partly have had values assigned or have had all values
assigned. You can spot the vehicle by its vehicle number and define it further utilizing a
batch, valuation type and, where appropriate, an equipment number.

Features:
 Vehicle Master Data
You can maintain all your vehicles centrally in a vehicle data pool and thus make
them available to yourself and your dealers. You can store both business and
technical master data for a vehicle in this data pool.
 Vehicle Search
There are numerous comprehensive functions which both you and your dealers can
use to search for vehicles in the data pool. Search criteria are, for instance, vehicle
data, configuration, vehicle status, posting documents or end customer/consumer .
 Execution of Actions
You can call and execute actions for a vehicle easily and quickly from VMS. By an
action we mean a business function that affects the procurement of a vehicle at the
manufacturer by the importer or the sale of the vehicle to the dealer.

Purpose:
The Vehicle Management System (VMS) is an application for the Automotive industry. It
supports, in the area of Sales & Services, the business processes that you require as vehicle
importer when dealing with your original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and your
dealers in new and used vehicle sales. VMS offers you complete integration of all the
relevant processes such as procurement, sales, rework, returns processing, trade-in and
service processing. It also supports the archiving of vehicle data. In other words, it allows
you to react flexibly to customers’ requirements in the area of production (using the “pull
strategy”) and fast delivery times with reduced warehouse stock and sales/distribution
costs.
