The latest version of the C2 interface is able to handle multiple vehicle orders as well, therefor Autoline is adapted to enable multiple vehicle ordering.
The form GiC Multiple Vehicle Order form is displayed when multiple vehicles are ordered via Showroom and you are using the order acceptance process of Showroom and VSB.
The showroom order will become available in the Accepting Customer Orders form in VSB once the order is accepted in showroom. As per standard Autoline process it is not possible to accept the showroom order if there are one or more vehicles not linked or if there are specification differences on a non-amendable stock vehicle detected (and the user has insufficient permissions).
Note: The It is not possible to attach a stock vehicle to a multi vehicle enquiry message is displayed when the Vehicle stock record > Attach menu bar command is clicked the Showroom Enquiries forms.
