You can create a vehicle supplier order using the model code defined for foreign currency. When the vehicle order has been received, you can create vehicle records with associated specification lines.
Some dealerships and businesses currently use Vehicle ordering and costing to import vehicles directly from the manufacturer. This Multi-currency vehicle functionality is suitable for importer markets.
The figures in base currency and foreign currency for each vehicle and associated specification lines are stored in Manufacturer Systems. The vehicle ordering- and costing programs update these files.
Note: Before using this program, you must ensure that the Autoline system has been set up correctly. This is normally done by, or on advice from, an Autoline consultant. Consultants should refer to the handover document. Ensure that the necessary foreign-currency- and base-currency exchange rates are set up in MS (X3) > Vehicle multi-currency > Exchange rates > [NL company]. Foreign-currency code in the Model codes needs to be set up for multiple currencies to be activated. (See also: Model Variants.) Table files and parameters must be set up in MS > X3. (Consultants please also refer to the Handover document for FS/16641.) Base Currency code must be set in NL System parameters.
The options from the menu and the programs are as follows:
Vehicle Ordering
Editing Chassis numbers
Foreign Costing
Local Costing

Vehicle Administration:
Foreign Costing is applied to a vehicle shipment when the shipment is invoiced by the supplier. These costs are applied, according to the appropriate rate, to all the vehicles on the shipment. At this point, the vehicle records are updated (VS/recpt, VS/newst and VS/vspec) with the costs included and therefore, at this point, the linked X3 records in vmcnv and vmcvs are likewise updated.
Note: The costs are entered in foreign currency, and are converted to base currency when applying to the VS records. These values are stored in foreign- and base currency in the X3 tables in Manufacturer Systems.
After the vehicle ordering process, go to Vehicle Costing > Input Foreign Cost.
The Edit order header form is displayed.
Enter the Franchise number and the Invoice number.
The details are displayed.

Local costing is the process of applying the costs incurred at the port of arrival in order to clear the shipment through Customs and to transport the vehicles from the port to the dealers’ stock-yards. Local costing is performed in base currency. It is therefore converted into the foreign currency before the updated values are applied to the Manufacturer-Systems tables.(Click on this link for help about entering costing to be applied to the vehicles in a shipment.)
