Add Vehicle Condition

Explanation

This activity is used to add an entry to the vehicle condition history for a vehicle. This is useful, for instance, when a vehicle condition change entry has not been logged in the system and you need to update the history with the missing entries.

Note: It is not possible to add an entry that is later in time than the last entry in the vehicle condition history. This is to prevent mismatches between the current vehicle condition for the vehicle and the most recent entry in history. In addition, it is not possible to add an entry to the vehicle condition history when working with old serial information (i.e., where the vehicle has been renamed) or a serial that is locked.

Prerequisites

• At least one entry should have been logged in the vehicle condition history.
• The selected vehicle should not be a renamed serial.
• The selected vehicle should not be locked.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, an entry will be added to the vehicle condition history for the vehicle. To easily identify manually added vehicle condition entries, the following information will be updated on the entry:

• The Corrective Transaction check box will be selected.
• The Correction Remark field will display the information entered when adding the vehicle condition.
• The Corrected By and Correction Date fields will display the ID of the user who added the entry and the date the entry was added.
