Change the Assigned Vehicle

Explanation

This activity is used to change the vehicle for an operational event. Normally, the vehicle that has been planned to operate an operational event is used when the operational event is executed, but there may be times when the planned vehicle is unavailable. (This may happen due to situations such as accidents, ongoing maintenance, and the vehicle being used for other events). In these cases, you need to change the assigned vehicle.

You can change to a vehicle with a different product and model number than the one required for the operational plan item even if the product and model number of the operational plan item is suggested.

Prerequisites

An operational plan must be created, completed, and events registered.

System Effects

The vehicle that is to be used for an operational event is changed.
