Vehicle Code

Unique code assigned to the vehicle.

Enter an existing code or Press F7 to search or Enter a new vehicle code to create a new vehicle record.

Codes are short abbreviations given to records under various files in the NEOSYS database. Codes are easier to remember and information pertaining to a particular record can be pulled up by entering its code. It cannot be more than 8 alphanumeric characters.

NEOSYS advises users to use the 4 letter coding system in order to ease the complex task of assigning different codes to various records. See Codes in NEOSYS.

Analyse as Vehicle

For a variety of reasons you might have more than one vehicle record in NEOSYS for a single real vehicle but want only one line to appear on management reports like billing analysis.

On this field you can enter the code of the other vehicle record.
