The Showroom system parameters control the point at which a vehicle record, both new and used is created. The vehicle record created will result from the configuration performed in the quotation process for a new vehicle or the vehicle selection and data input in the used vehicle valuation process. The vehicle record card is normally created for the first time when the vehicle is confirmed on the manufacturer.
The advantage of creating vehicle records as they are ordered is that it is possible to anticipate the flow of vehicles into the dealership and to allocate ordered vehicles for particular customers before the vehicle physically arrives at the dealership.
