Hi Subha,

giving you an overview on the entire Automotive solution is quite difficult because it covers the manufacturing side up to the dealer management. For this reason I would recommend taking a look at the solution maps for the Automotive industries. There you will find an overview on the processes and the available solutions.

If you like to learn more about available services just check out the ES Workplace:

Starting on this basis the documentation at the help portal on the service marketplace will provide you with more detailed information:

Functional Scope – Supported Business Processes or Scenarios

1 Appointment Scheduling and Workshop Planning

The Appointment Scheduling and Workshop Planning scenario can be used to create a service order and give a customer feedback on a possible repair completion date or delivery time, based on the availability of resources.

You can then use the appointment scheduling functions to block the appropriate resources.

By doing this, you can avoid overbooking and resource capacity problems in the workshop. Furthermore, the customer or service advisor can see immediately whether a repair is possible in the required timeframe or not.

Process Flow

This scenario introduces the vehicle service process which includes creating, posting and billing a DBM order for vehicle service parts and service activities. You can also generate and process warranty cases in the service order from order processing for DBM. The system updates the order-dependent data in the vehicle master record, such as the vehicle history and the primary and secondary status of the vehicle automatically. You can also find all the documents related to DBM service order through document flow for history tracking. You can find the vehicle-related DBM orders in order list.

Key Points

The Appointment Scheduling and Workshop Planning scenario covers the following processes:

The customer contacts the dealer

The customer and vehicle is identified

Rough capacity check is carried out

Create Service Order

Enter requested start/completion date

Enter service item

Enter service task

Check available dates
