Process of Using Automotive for Account Management

End users, such as sales and service representatives and fleet management representatives, frequently work with accounts in Siebel Automotive. How an end user proceeds depends on whether that user is working with an existing account or setting up a new one. If the account exists, the end user may associate it with a contact or a vehicle in any of several views in the Accounts or Vehicles screens.

After an account record has been created and a vehicle has been added to the Vehicle database by the administrator, an end user or administrator can perform any of the following procedures in any order; however, the end user may want to perform procedures in the following order for consistent account management.

To manage their accounts, end users perform the following tasks:

• Associating a Vehicle with an Account
• Associating a Vehicle with an Account by Relationship
• Associating a Vehicle Using the Summary View

NOTE:  For additional end-user procedures related to accounts, see Applications Administration Guide.
