Vehicle models

When adding a vehicle to the fleet, specify the vehicle model to maintain updated records, which keeps track of specific details, like maintenance schedules and parts compatibility.

Odoo comes with preconfigured car models from four major auto manufacturers: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Opel.

If a new vehicle model joins the fleet, and it is not one of the preconfigured models from these manufacturers, the model (and/or manufacturer) must be added to the database.

  • Vehicle Type: select one of two preconfigured vehicle types, either Car or Bike, from the drop-down menu. The vehicle types are hardcoded in Odoo, and are integrated with the Payroll application, since vehicles can be part of an employee’s benefits. Adding additional vehicle types is not possible as it affects payroll.

注解

The Salary section only appears for Belgian-based companies, and only if the company has their localization setting set to Belgium. The cost values are all monthly, with the exception of the Catalog Value (VAT Incl.).

  • Can be requested: tick this checkbox if employees can request this model vehicle, if a vehicle is part of their employee contract.

  • C02 fee: represents the carbon dioxide emission fee paid to the Belgian government. This value is automatically calculated, based on Belgian laws and regulations, and cannot be modified.

  • 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.

If a vendor is not in the database, add a vendor by clicking New in the bottom-left of the Add: Vendors pop-up window. In the Create Vendors form that appears, enter the necessary information, then click Save & Close to add the vendor, or click Save & New to add the current vendor and create another new vendor.

Model category

To best organize a fleet, it is recommended to have vehicle models housed under a specific category, to easily see what kinds of vehicles are in the fleet. Model categories are set on the vehicle model form.

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

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

添加新的型号类别

To add a new category, click the New button in the top-left corner of the Categories page. 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.

To reorganize how the categories appear in the list, click on the (draggable) icon to the left of any desired category name, and drag the line to the desired 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 numbers of passengers the vehicle can carry.
