Changing a Vehicle's Stock Record from "New" to "Demo"

To transfer a vehicle's stock record from "New" to "Demo," follow the steps outlined below:

1. Access the Stock Record

• Open the relevant stock record.
• Locate the DEPT button next to the status line, and click it. A drop-down menu will appear.

2. Select the New Department

• From the drop-down list, choose the Department you want to transfer the vehicle to (in this case, "Demo").
• Additionally, select the date on which the transfer should be registered.

3. Transfer Costs

• Once the vehicle has been transferred, all costs that were recorded while the vehicle was under the "New" department will be totaled and moved as a single value into the "Demo Stock" department.

4. Retain Detailed Cost Information

• You won't lose any detailed information. You can still view the breakdown of costs posted under each department.
• To access this, navigate to the Cost Analysis section within the Purchase Status tab. Here, you can view all costs incurred while the vehicle was in each department.

5. Returning the Vehicle from "Demo" to "Showroom" or "Used Car" Stock

• When the vehicle is no longer in "Demo" status, you can repeat the same process to move it back to Showroom or Used Car stock.
• Just like the previous transfer, all costs recorded while the vehicle was in "Demo" stock will be totaled and transferred as a single value to the new department (e.g., "Used Car" stock).

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage the transfer of vehicles between departments while maintaining full visibility of associated costs.
