This article explains how to create a workshop vehicle. This will be a vehicle that you did not sell, nor have you seen in the workshop previously.
More Information

- Press <Shift+F10>.
- Click [Next] by the wizard's hat to create the workshop stock number.
- Enter the registration of the vehicle.
- If your system has been set up with HPI lookup, click [Look Up]. Remember that each time you use this, it will cost you a small fee.
- At the "Vehicle Look-up Options" window, ensure that nothing is ticked for the "Vehicle and Mileage Check:" because we are using this to update the vehicle record with the vehicle details. We do not want to carry out a full HPI check on the vehicle.
- Ignore the "Model:" and move the cursor to "Description:" and enter the description of the vehicle.
- At "Manufacturer:" enter the first three characters of the manufacturer and press <Enter>. This will either give you a list of manufacturers to choose from or return one.
- Ignore "Tech Colour:" and enter the colour into "Colour:".
- With "Chassis:" & "V.I.N.:" you need to be consistent and stick with one and enter the last 6 digits into the other.
- Enter the "Engine Number:" and "Mileage:".
