Description
Costing System Indicator N4  Only some of the many thousands of assets in the Asset System are vehicles that can be processed using this sub-system. They should all be linked to one Costing Indicator. That Costing Indicator is entered here for this sub-system to be able to identify it as such. Assets must be linked to this sub-system in option {FVTM-2} with the costing indicator (VT).
Income Account  A8 When a trip is recorded on this sub-system the department that made the trip will be debited. A corresponding credit to an income account will also be created.

Under option {FVTM-3} (see below) the cost centre part of the credit GLA can be specified. This option requires the user to nominate the account part of the GLA against which the credit is to be processed. Accounts are created under option {FCSO-3}. 

Every vehicle can become a Cost Centre and the different incomes and expenses can be charged against this CC.  Normally a number of accounts will also be created for the various expenditure items in respect of a vehicle (fuel, licenses, etc.).
Creditor Code N9 All commitments created by this option must be linked to a creditor created under option {FPMM-2}.  It is suggested that a special creditor be created for this purpose and that it be named “Vehicle Commitments”.
Print Issue Document A1 The system can print an issue slip when a vehicle is issued. This slip can be signed by the Transport Officer and is used as authorisation for the driver to use the vehicle.  If this field is set to (Y)es a slip will be printed. If it is set to (N)o it will not be printed.

NB:. In order to print the slip: the printer must be defined in {GPRT-3} and linked to the function code VEHTRK for the system code FIN: optional parameter must be blank
Warning Service Kilometres N9 Kilometres remaining is entered here, at which time a warning for service required must be given to the user when booking, issuing or returning a vehicle. The warning will be given in menu option {FVTO-1} and {FVTO-2}.
Block Bookings Prior to Service A1 When remaining kilometres before service is reached, the warning will be given. The user may thus decide to block bookings by entering (Y)es in this field.  If the value is (N)o, no blocking will take place. The system allows the user to block booking based on the kilometres entered in the next field Blocking Kilometres.
Blocking Kilometres  N9 Enter Kilometres at which booking of vehicles must be blocked. When the vehicle reaches this mileage, the system will not allow any booking if the answer above is (Y)es.

Note that these are remaining kilometres prior to service. The calculation of these remaining kilometres is based on the data entered in (FVTM-3) below.
