deskit is the inventory source for BMW dealers.
All price/cost, status updates and arrival dates should be completed the inventory module.
​
However if the following updates are completed in VMS, deskit will accept these changes:
​
Vehicle cost (Sales or Inventory)
Vehicle Status
Vehicle Odometer (if higher than what is recorded in deskit)
Stock#
Order#
In-stock date
Vehicle type: new, demo, loaner
Sales type: retail, fleet, wholesale

BMW will feed on-order inventory to deskit (daily 6AM).
Any price update in BMW inventory API will be applied to vehicles in deskit.
If deskit vehicle status is (in-stock, sold, turnover, delivered, or closed), price update in API will NOT be applied.

deskit will only accept price / cost updates from BMW inventory feed if vehicle status in deskit is either in-transit and on-order. The following updates will be accepted no matter deskit vehicle status (Stop delivery, Location Status, AG status)
​
​IMPORTANT workflow logic:

When a vehicle is flagged as "dealertrade" in BMW inventory API, deskit will update the vehicle status to "Not-Available". (This way the selling dealer can create a dealer trade BoS and then update the vehicle to sold in deskit)

deskit will update used vehicle pricing in Ignite/VMS. Users must manually click on Reynolds icon to send price updates to DMS.

Inventory clerk opens on-order vehicle in deskit, assigns a stock#, updates vehicle status to In-Stock, adds arrival date.
Clicks save (green checkmark)
Clicks Reynolds icon to transfer vehicle to Ignite (VMS).
Opens VMS, and assigns accounting cost.

In Reynolds Inventory clerk opens VMS, assigns the real Stock# to a vehicle, changes the status of the vehicle, then RR publishes this vehicle change/update to deskit.
deskit accepts the change in Stock#, vehicle status, and cost.
**deskit is unable to assign or update a stock# to an existing vehicle in Reynolds**

Note: PBS dealers, deskit will not retrieve updates from BMW VIN feed once vehicle status has been updated to Turnover, Sold, Delivered or Closed.

When LOCATION STATUS = 3 or 5, deskit will automatically update vehicle status to In-Transit on inventory stock card.

Once vehicle arrives, inventory clerk will still need to assign stock# and update vehicle status accordingly.
