This document outlines all of the configurations and settings for the Fleet application, including settings, manufacturers, vehicle models, and model categories.

Налаштування

To access the settings menu, go to Fleet application ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. There are only two settings that need configuration, the vehicle contract end date alert delay, and a new vehicle request limit.

Settings available for the Fleet application.

Кінцева дата сповіщення контракту

The End Date Contract Alert field defines an alert delay for the persons responsible for vehicle contracts. The responsible person(s) will receive an email informing them a vehicle contract is about to expire in the number of days defined in this field.

Примітка

To determine who the responsible person is for a contract, open an individual contract. The person listed as Responsible under the Contract Information section of the contract is the person who will receive the alert.

To access all contracts, navigate to Fleet app ‣ Fleet ‣ Contracts and all contracts appear in the list. Click on a Contract to view it.

An individual contract can also be found by navigating to Fleet app ‣ Fleet ‣ Fleet and clicking on an individual vehicle. On the vehicle form, click the Contracts smart button at the top of the page. The contract(s) associated with this vehicle only appears in the list. Click on an individual contract to open it. The Responsible person is listed on the contract.

New Vehicle Request

The New Vehicle Request field sets a limit on how many new vehicles are requested based on fleet availability. An employee filling out the salary configurator form (after being offered a position), will not be able to request a new car if the number of existing cars is greater than the number specified in the New Vehicle Request field. Enter the specific number limit for existing available cars in this field.

Example

If the New Vehicle Request limit is set to 20 vehicles, and there are 25 vehicles available, an employee would not be able to request a new vehicle. If there are only 10 cars available, then the employee would be able to request a new vehicle.

Many manufacturers have a variety of models that they produce. When adding a vehicle to the fleet, it is important to specify the vehicle model being added. Odoo comes with pre-configured car models from four major auto manufacturers, and one pre-configured bicycle model from one bicycle manufacturer: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Opel (cars), and Eddy Merckx (bicycle). If a vehicle other than the pre-configured models from these manufacturers are part of a fleet, the model (and/or manufacturer) needs to be added to the database.

  • Vehicle Type: select one of two preconfigured vehicle types, either Car or Bike, from the drop-down menu. The vehicle types are hardcoded in Odoo and are integrated with the Payroll application since vehicles can be part of an employee’s benefits. Adding additional vehicle types is not possible as it will affect payroll.

  • Category: select the category the vehicle is categorized under from the drop-down menu. To create a new category, type in the category and then click Create (new category).

The Cost (Depreciated) does not depreciate automatically on the vehicle model, it only depreciates based on the contract linked to a specific vehicle and not on the general model.
