New vehicles

Odoo's Fleet app manages all vehicles, and the accompanying documentation that comes with vehicle maintenance, and drivers records.

Upon opening the Fleet application, all vehicles are organized within the Vehicles dashboard, which is the default dashboard for the Fleet application. Each vehicle is displayed in its corresponding Kanban stage, based on its status. The default stages are New Request, To Order, Registered, and Downgraded.

To add a new vehicle to the fleet from the Vehicles page, click the New button in the top-left corner, and a blank vehicle form loads. Then, proceed to enter the vehicle information on the vehicle form.

The form auto-saves as data is entered. However, the form can be saved manually at any time by clicking the save manually option, represented by a (cloud upload) icon, located in the top-left corner of the page.

Driver section

Phần này của biểu mẫu phương tiện liên quan đến người hiện đang lái xe, cũng như bất kỳ kế hoạch nào để thay đổi người lái trong tương lai và khi nào.

• Driver: select the driver from the drop-down menu, or type in a new driver and click either Create "driver" or Create and edit... to create a new driver, and edit the driver details.

  Quan trọng

  A driver does not have to be an employee. When creating a new driver, the driver is added to the Fleet application, not the Employees application.

  If the Contacts application is installed, the driver information is also stored in the Contacts application.

• Mobility Card: if the selected driver has a mobility card listed on their employee card in the Employees application, the mobility card number appears in this field. If there is no mobility card listed, and one should be added, edit the employee record in the Employees application.

• Future Driver: if the next driver for the vehicle is known, select the next driver from the drop-down menu. Or, type in the next driver and click either Create "future driver" or Create and edit... to create a new future driver, and edit the driver details.

• Kế hoạch đổi xe: nếu tài xế hiện tại của xe này có kế hoạch đổi xe - do đang chờ xe mới được đặt hàng hoặc đây là xe tạm thời và họ đã biết xe tiếp theo mình sẽ lái - hãy tích vào ô này. Không tích ô này nếu tài xế hiện tại không có kế hoạch đổi xe.

• Ngày giao: sử dụng lịch thả xuống, chọn thời điểm tài xế khác có thể sử dụng xe. Chọn ngày bằng cách đi đến tháng và năm chính xác bằng cách sử dụng các biểu tượng ⬅️ (mũi tên trái) và ➡️ (mũi tên phải). Sau đó, nhấp vào ngày cụ thể. Nếu trường này được để trống, thì có nghĩa là xe hiện đang khả dụng và có thể được giao lại cho tài xế khác. Nếu trường này đã được điền, tài xế khác sẽ không thể sử dụng xe cho đến ngày đã chọn.

• Company: select the company from the drop-down menu. This field only appears in a multi-company database.

Tạo tài xế mới

Nếu tài xế chưa có trong hệ thống, tài xế mới nên được cấu hình và thêm vào cơ sở dữ liệu trước. Tài xế mới có thể được thêm từ trường Tài xế hoặc Tài xế tương lai trên biểu mẫu xe.

Đầu tiên, nhập tên của tài xế mới vào trường Tài xế hoặc Tài xế tương lai, sau đó nhấp Tạo và chỉnh sửa.... Biểu mẫu Tạo tài xế hoặc Tạo tài xế tương lai xuất hiện, tùy thuộc vào trường nào khởi tạo biểu mẫu.

Both the Create Driver and Create Future Driver forms are identical.

Ghi chú

Tùy thuộc vào các ứng dụng đã cài đặt, các tab hoặc trường khác nhau có thể hiển thị trên biểu mẫu Tạo tài xế và Tạo tài xế tương lai.
