Adding a vehicle

Adding a vehicle records a new entry in your pipeline. It appears in the Vehicles list with the Purchased stage, ready for you to attach a shipment, costs, customer, and so on.

Before you start

• You need Vehicles edit permission.
• If you're near your plan's active-vehicle limit, free up a slot or upgrade first. See The Vehicles list for how the limit is calculated.

To add a vehicle

1. From Vehicles, click Add vehicle
2. Fill in the fields (described below)
3. Click Save

You land on the new vehicle's detail page.

The fields

• Stock number: auto-generated from your organisation's stock-number prefix plus the next sequence number (for example IMP-042). You can override it if you already have your own numbering.
• Source type: Auction, Agent, Dealer, Private, or Trade.
• Origin country: where the vehicle is being shipped from. Pick from the list, or choose Other (ISO code) for a country not in the default list.
• Make, model, year, VIN, mileage (with mileage type: miles or kilometres), drive side (left or right).
• Supplier: pick an existing supplier, or click + Add supplier to create one inline without leaving the sheet.

Good to know

• The stock number preview updates as you type your prefix. The "next number" only increments after a save succeeds, so cancelling the sheet doesn't waste a number.
• Mileage type and drive side defaults come from your organisation's country (set under Settings → Organization). If you're importing from a country that uses the opposite drive side, change it here.
• The inline supplier creation saves a minimal record (only the name). You can fill in contact details, addresses, and invoices later from Suppliers.
