Hi Venkat,

My Answer to your question is YES, based on an assumption that you are referring to VMS, when you were talking about US-Auto on the whole.

What is it you want to achieve by this question? What do you want to do with the VMODEL and VHVIN? In order to guide you, we need to know that you want to do with these..

Are you in a company which uses DBM and (or) VMS or is it an auto manufacturing company? because my answer to your actual question may vary based on the answer that you give..

Hi Harsha,

I working in one of indian major autmotive manufacturing as a consultant .since this is new area for me i am not able to find the solution.

By using vehicle model no. & vehiocle identification number they will track all the manufaturing vehicles in their plants.

After manufaturing up to chasis they will print vehicle identification num.

This will be supplied to either subcontractors or their neibhouring plants to make it as fully built solution .

For tracking the vehicle and while selling the vehicle this is must as per the client requirement.

Pls guide me how i can solve this issue

HI Venkat,

Apologies for the delay.

I have never worked on the production side of IS-Auto. The following info is purely based on my imagination about the process.

I think, you wouldnt have either of Model or VIN number in SAP while the vehicle is being produced. All you might have is the reference vehicle material that is used in VMS or DBM to tract Inventory.

Ideally, a production order would be created to produce the vehicle, there you should be able to use the reference text field to populate the required numbers in the Production order. This if you are mapping using VMS, then you can split the process of manufacturing into 2 or 3 steps with related statuses. After a particular state or after attaining a particular status, you should be able to have the partly built up vehicle. Which can then be sent to sub contractors for further processing.

In order to answer your question with fool proof answer, I would need the architecture of your proposed solution. Based on the data flow, we can design any other approach.

The above mentioned process I gave was with an assumption that:

The customer request is recorded in VMS / DBM.

A production order is triggered from VMS.

Vehicle is then manufactured upto a particular status,

VIN is assigned to the production order which can update the VMS system.

Later the subcon process may follow on.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Harsha

Hi,

For Manufacturer VMS is useful to share the data to delaers/distributor

You need to Use VIN number-

which is part of VMS- Go through the sap library for VMS functionalities.

To achieve Vehicle model - You need to use Configre material

You can download best pracites from SAP market place- for VMS scenarios-Under Automotive suppliers

I think as far as Indinan scenarios goes, VMS is not used at all....

OEM will be selling vehicles directly to dealers.

Vehicle while in productio, system uses "External number" field for identfication in DBM.

Once the vehicle is built completely and shipped to dealers, they use VIN number for identification..

Bith these fileds are avaulable in DBM..
