Models & manufacturers

Odoo’s Fleet app categorizes each vehicle by manufacturer and model (e.g. BMW, X2). Before the vehicle can be added to the Odoo database, its manufacturer and a model records must already exist in the database.

Tillverkare

Odoo’s Fleet app comes preconfigured with sixty-six commonly used car and bicycle manufacturers in the database, along with their logos. To view the pre-loaded manufacturers, go to Fleet app ‣ Configuration ‣ Manufacturers.

The default filter, With Models, displays only manufacturers that already have vehicle models. Remove the default filter to view all manufacturers.

Manufacturers re listed alphabetically, and each card shows how many specific models are configured for each particular manufacturer.

Lägg till en tillverkare

To add a new manufacturer to the database, click New in the upper-left corner, to open a blank manufacturers form. Type the name of the manufacturer in the Name field, and select an image to upload for the logo.

Modeller

När du lägger till ett fordon i vagnparken ska du ange fordonsmodellen för att upprätthålla uppdaterade register, som håller reda på specifika detaljer, som underhållsscheman och reservdelskompatibilitet.

Unlike manufacturers, models do not come preconfigured in the Fleet app. When a new vehicle model joins the fleet, the model (and, if necessary, the manufacturer) must be added to the database.

Add a model

To add a new vehicle model, navigate to Fleet app ‣ Configuration ‣ Models. Click New in the upper-left corner, and enter the following information on the new model form.

Observera

Depending on the installed localization, some fields or sections may not appear.

  • Model name: Enter the model name in the field.

  • Manufacturer: Using the drop-down menu, select the manufacturer. If it is not configured, add the manufacturer

  • Vehicle Type: Using the drop-down menu, select one of two preconfigured vehicle types, either Car or Bike.

    Viktigt

    Additional vehicle types can not be added. Fleet keeps them fixed to preserve its Payroll integration, where vehicles may count as employee benefits.

  • Category: Using the drop-down menu, select a category for the vehicle or create a new one.

Om du ändrar fältet CO2-utsläpp justeras värdet i fältet CO2-avgift.

  • Cost (Depreciated): Enter the monthly vehicle cost, which appears in the salary configurator for future employees. This value impacts the gross and net salary of the employee assigned to the vehicle. This figure is depreciated over time, according to local tax laws. The Cost (Depreciated) does not depreciate automatically on the vehicle model, it only depreciates based on the contract linked to a specific vehicle.

  • Total Cost (Depreciated): This value is the combination of the Cost (Depreciated) and the C02 fee fields. It also depreciated over time.

Modellkategori

To aid with fleet organization, it is recommended to have vehicle models housed under a specific category. Model categories are set on the vehicle model form.

Odoo does not come with any categories preconfigured; all categories must be added.

To view any categories currently set up in the database, navigate to Fleet app ‣ Configuration ‣ Categories. All categories are displayed in a list view.

Lägg till en ny modellkategori

To add a new category, click the New button in the top-left corner of the Categories dashboard. A new entry line appears at the bottom of the list. Type in the new category, then either click Save, or click anywhere on the screen, to save the entry.

Om du vill ändra hur kategorierna visas i listan klickar du på ikonen (draggable) till vänster om önskat kategorinamn och drar linjen till önskad position.

The order of the list does not affect the database in any way. However, it may be preferable to view the vehicle categories in a specific order, for example, by size, or the number of passengers the vehicle can carry.

Observera

When used with the Inventory app, the Max Weight and Max Volume fields track a vehicle’s capacity. This helps manage in-house deliveries by showing how much space and weight remain for loading products.
