General Description of the Feature
This feature enables users to reserve and unreserve a vehicle via the "Vehicle Card Page" and automatically updates the vehicle’s “Reservation” status at the SOFTLY Marketplace. This integration applies only to environments with SOFTLY integration and concerns only sales reservations. Key functionalities include:
Manual Sales Reservation:
Users can create sales reservations manually from the Vehicle Card Page with various start and stop date scenarios, automatically informing SOFTLY at the appropriate times through scheduled tasks.
Sales Reservation with Start Date Now and Stop Date Now:
- The system immediately informs SOFTLY of the reservation and creates a scheduled task to update SOFTLY by the end of the day when the reservation ends.
Sales Reservation with Start Date and Stop Date on the Same Future Date:
- Two scheduled tasks are created: one to inform SOFTLY when the reservation starts and another to update SOFTLY by the end of the day when the reservation ends.
Sales Reservation with Start Date Now and Stop Date in the Future:
- The system immediately informs SOFTLY of the reservation and creates a scheduled task to inform SOFTLY when the reservation ends.
Sales Reservation with Both Start Date and Stop Date in the Future:
- Two scheduled tasks are created: one to inform SOFTLY when the reservation starts and another to inform SOFTLY when the reservation ends.
Cancelling a Reservation:
- Users can cancel a sales reservation manually from the Vehicle Card Page, sending a request to SOFTLY to update the vehicle's reservation status.
(Re)Publishing a Vehicle:
- When (re)publishing a vehicle, the system retrieves any active sales reservations and updates SOFTLY about the vehicle's reserved status.
Inquiry Service Integration:
- Based on the 3.18.4 - "CreateInquiryInterestByCase" API - Vehicle Sales (On-line Sales) (ABES-51) feature, SOFTLY can also create sales reservations in the system via the inquiry service. The integration ensures that the reservation status is updated in SOFTLY at the correct times.
