How to create a vehicle in VELO

[Stephen3]

Hi;

I am new to VMS and trying to figure it.  In our SAP DEV system, I have done the following:

1. Created a configuration profile

2. Created a material master record for a model car in MM01.

3. Tried to build an action matrix.

4. Defined Vehicle Status

5. Defined Vehicle Usage

I think I have done everything that I need to do.  In VELO, my model car shows up on the FIND tab.  I am trying to create a car but since I have no cars in the system to choose from I can't get it work.

Which tab do I use to create a car?  I would like to create a "USED Vehicle" - action CRUV but right now I would be happy to create any car.

When on the "ACTION" tab, there are no actions available.

It seems like VELO is used to work with cars returned from the search, but I need to create a car master record.  Can anybody help?

Also, if anyone has a program that accepts a file as input to create a car that they would be willing to share that would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Hi,

Select the model on fine tab and slect create vehicle action and select action tab ..enter proper data and press execute action button at the bottom of action screen. But you have to assign you user id to model profile in VELORU. Also make sure you have assigned action matrix to model in VELOS. If vehicle is not crated click on Log button in top menu bar to find the reason

Hi Ganesh;

Thank you for the response.  I finally figured out that I needed to turn on the flag creaact in table cvlc03 to get the execute button to appear on the "ACTION" tab.

You turn on this flag in spro --> Logistics Execution --> Vehicle Management System --> Enhancements --> Define Technical Details for Actions

This was hard to find.  I haven't found any documentation that has told me to do this.

Now I have error message XCM scenario VEHICLEMAN DEFAULT not found.  I have to figure this out.

Another question. We are an auction site for the selling of used cars.  We don't actually own the cars but facilitate the selling of them for the car dealer.  I am trying to use SAP to manage the "inventory" of cars as we have to keep track of them in our SAP system.  We receive cars into a security parking lots and release the cars from the lot once the buyer has paid for the car.

Do you think I should use VMS or DBM?  We need to keep track of some of the details of the car (i.e year, make, model, engine size, mileage, color).  We do not need any purchase orders or any manufacturing.

Thanks

Hi Stephen,

Since you are working for dealer use DBM. VMS is for importer, I am surprise you did not got standard VMS action matrix with all proper setting. check the attached document form SAP.

for XCM check after maintaining parameter maintained VELO_CU50_ACTIVE  = 'X' in transaction SU3 (try by relogin after you set this)

for action matrix detail you may check attached document for SAP note

Hi Ganesh;

Thank you for the quick response.  OSS Note 1038943 seems to be the setup for the DBM matrix system.  I activated VMS via the "Activate Business Functions" t-code.  I have to download DBM from SAP and install it.  I need to authorized by SAP to download this software.

I have added VELO_CU50_ACTIVE to my user profile.

Thank you.
