Attach Cars
Add a car to a deal opened without one, or replace the car of a deal
Attach a car to a deal after the dealership has sourced the car for the customer.
Requirements: The deal update permission, held by the Owner and Manager roles. The car must exist in the inventory.
- Select Customers in the sidebar and open the customer.
- Open the Deals tab.
- Find the deal that shows No car attached yet.
- Select Attach car. The Attach a Vehicle dialog opens.
- In Vehicle, search by car name, plate or VIN and select the car.
- Select Attach.
The toast Vehicle attached confirms the change. The deal row now shows the car.
- Open the deal.
- Select Edit in the actions menu of the deal. The Edit Deal dialog opens.
- In Vehicle, search for a car and select it.
- Select Save Changes.
The Vehicle section of the deal page shows the stage of the car. A car with a shipment also shows the destination, the vessel and the arrival date.
- A car can be on only one Open or Won deal. When another deal holds the car, the dashboard shows That car is already on deal # and the number. Select another car or change the status of the other deal.
- A deal cannot be marked Won without a car. See Change the status of a deal.
- The Attach a Vehicle dialog lists at most 100 cars of the inventory.
- The car can be replaced at any stage, including Won, provided that no other Open or Won deal holds the new car. Detaching a car from a Won deal is refused.
- The Edit action needs Deal Financial Access and Partner Commission Access in addition to the deal update permission. The Attach car button on the customer page does not need them.
- Attaching a car does not change the stage of the car. The car moves to Sold when the deal is marked Won.
