Question
When posting an upfront VAT invoice against a vehicle I am getting the pop up message as follows: 'This vehicle is on consignment. Do you want to adopt?'
Answer
When a vehicle is on consignment the DMS reads this as though the dealership still owes money to the supplier and this means that the vehicle is not owned by the dealership.
The system will not allow you to post a VAT invoice to a vehicle that is on consignment.
When the DMS prompts you to adopt the vehicle means that the you are going to be telling the system that you now own the vehicle.
To do this you need to reconfirm the costs of the vehicle and set it as adopted.
You are able to set a future date to make the payment for adopting the vehicle.
In terms of posting the VAT invoice upfront you will need to adopt the vehicle with in the system before being able to do so.
