An inventory vehicle can be reserved for a specific time period and for a specific customer. The reservation triggers an API that creates a json file and post to the VSS where the vehicle becomes reserved. The reservation cancellation is also posted to VSS. The reservation is a bi-directional integration, therefore a vehicle inventory can be also reserved in VSS. The reservation is posted to DSW and the vehicle is reserved.
The car statuses that can be selected for reservation from the Vehicle Reservation functionality are maintained in this page: ../SetupEntities/MapCarStatusesForActionsShowedAboutReservations
To reserve a vehicle the user navigates to the inventory grid-list, selects a vehicle, from the Actions menu selects the option Reserve a vehicle. The reservation is visible under the tab Reservation of the Vehicle Card page.
