Select VIM Serial Object and Address

Explanation

Use this activity to select the VIM (vehicle information management) serial object that is to be included in the service request. If several addresses have been entered for the same object, you can also select a combination of object and address. 

If pre-posting is required on the service request created for the VIM serial, code part information must have been previously defined on the serial. Code part information consists of the cost center and object. Code parts will be retrieved from the serial for which the service request is created. For more information refer to the About Code Part Information online help file. The defined code part information can be viewed in the Pre Posting dialog box. 

Prerequisites

Before the VIM serial object and address can be selected, the following must have been completed:

• The customer needs to be entered in the Service Request window.  
• The object needs to be entered in IFS/VIM and connected to a customer.
• Code part information must have been defined on the serial or a parent serial in the structure. This is used to retrieve code part information on the service request created for the VIM serial. 

System Effects

• The VIM serial object is included in the service request. 
• You can enter additional information for the service request/work order.
• The defined cost center and object will be transferred to the service request created for the VIM serial.
