Autoline set up

A number of set up must be done before the conversion program and routines can be used. All set up is explained below.

Mercedes-Benz parameters

Before any of the chassis numbers can be converted, the mapping table in Autoline must be filled. Uploading a data form F-DOK can do this. Before you can upload the file, you must set up the Mercedes-Benz parameters.

To set up the Mercedes-Benz parameters, you must:

Select from the Main menu the Manufacturer Systems option, combined with company MB.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Main menu, the Menu-Utilities option.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Utilities menu the Mercedes-Benz parameters option.
Select from the System group the MCC VIN parameters
Select the Amend icon from the Toolbar.

Enter the name and location of the data form F-DOK file on the server or client in the MCC VIN file name parameter.

Select the Save icon from the Toolbar to save the changes.

Upload program

After the parameter has been set, it is possible to upload the file. To upload the file, you must:

Select from the Main menu the Manufacturer Systems option, combined with company MB.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Main menu, the Menu-Service option.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Service menu the Menu - Standard Files option.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Standard files menu the Master Data After Sales CD option.
The Master Data After Sales form is displayed.

If the file is available on the location and name from the Mercedes-Benz parameter and if the program can open the file, the Load column of the MCC Vin numbers line will be ticked or will say compressed.

If not it is possible that you must set the Location radio button correctly, check the name and location in the parameter again or make sure that the program has enough rights to open the file.

Decide if you want to initialise the currently uploaded files in the mapping table or update the files currently uploaded in the mapping table. Tick the Initialise column of the MCC Vin numbers line if you want to initialise the mapping table.

Untick the Load column of the files that you do not want to upload and select the Convert button to upload the MCC Vin numbers file.

If the file has been uploaded without any errors, a message is given.

Mapping file

After the file has been uploaded, the mapping table can be viewed and edited. To enter the mapping table, you must:

Select from the Main menu the Manufacturer Systems option, combined with company MB.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Main menu, the Menu-Service option.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Service menu the Menu - Standard Files option.
Select from the Mercedes-Benz Standard files menu the MCC VIN numbers option.
The Mapping file is displayed in grid edit.

Note: Any changes will be lost when uploading the same file or a new file again!

Franchise Data set up

The convert routines are only activated if the Franchise record for Smart is linked to MS company code MB. To set up the Franchise record, you must:

Select from the Main menu the Franchise Data option.
Select from the Franchise Data Main menu, the Franchise details option.
The Franchise Details form is displayed.

Enter or select with help of the Search function the Franchise record used for Smart vehicles.

Select the Amend button from the form.

Make sure that the MS Company code on the Main Detail tab is set on MB.

Select the Save button to save the changes.
