Assumptions

General

• There is no scope for categorising different model variants for a vehicle. This can only be achieved by correct management of the vehicleName.
• The vehicles list will be populated by the database users as parts are ordered for vehicles and supplied to the end customer. There is no definitive vehicles list.

vehicleName

• The vehicle name can either be extremely specific e.g. down to the model number or quite generic. With a vehicle name containing a model number, the advantage of being very specific is that one part may only be applicable to a certain model of the vehicle, the disadvantage is that if a part is applicable to all models of this vehicle then it needs to be added to all the models of this vehicle.

vehicleManual

• There will only be one link to a manual for each vehicle. If there is more than one manual then the link can be configured to be a directory.
• The link to the manual is only for further information to help the user. It is not used in the code.
