Learn how to deactivate and reactivate vehicles in Motorcentral to exclude vehicles from your active stock.
When to Use
- The vehicle is no longer needed in active stock but must be kept for historical or record-keeping purposes
- The vehicle cannot be deleted because it is linked to other records preventing deletion
- You want to temporarily remove a vehicle from active use without losing its data
Deactivating a Vehicle
- Select the vehicle you want to deactivate from the vehicle tab in Motorcentral.
- Right-click the vehicle line and choose Deactivate Vehicle from the menu.
- In the confirmation box, add notes explaining why you are deactivating the vehicle (optional), then click OK.
- The vehicle is now deactivated and removed from active stock lists.
Reactivating a Vehicle
- On the Motorcentral vehicle tab, use the vehicle status filter on the menu toolbar and select Inactive.
- Search for the vehicle in the search box. The vehicle will appear with an Inactive status and greyed out.
- Right-click the vehicle line and select Activate Vehicle.
- The vehicle will now be active and show its original status prior to deactivation.
Notes
- Deactivation is used to retain a record without it appearing as active, especially when deletion is not possible.
- Adding notes when deactivating helps track why a vehicle was deactivated.
- Inactive vehicles appear greyed out to differentiate from active stock.
- You can switch between active and inactive views via the vehicle status filter.
