# Job by vehicle: all special tools for a vehicle

A job comes in – which special tools do I need for this vehicle, and are they here? Under *Loans → By vehicle* you enter brand, model or engine code; Tulz lists all matching tools with status and storage location and puts them on a pick list with one tap.

### Prerequisite: vehicles on the tool

The search uses the vehicles entered on the tool (*Edit tool → Matching vehicles*: brand, model, engine code). The more complete these details, the better the list fits.

### Searching

1. Open *Loans → By vehicle*.
2. Enter **Brand**, **Model** and/or **Engine code** – one of them is enough. The fields suggest what exists in your inventory.
3. *Find tools*.

Tulz is generous here: "VW" also finds "Volkswagen", "Golf 7" also finds "Golf VII"; upper and lower case, spaces and hyphens make no difference. Tools that only match the brand (no model) appear further down. The **Matches by** column shows whether a tool was found via engine code, model or brand.

### Results

- **In our workshop**: the matching tools at your site with status, storage location and – for tools on loan – with whom and until when. The heading shows how many of them are free.
- **At other sites**: *Requests* lets you request the tool from there (see *Request a tool from another site*).
- **In the workshop network**: partner workshops that have shared matching tools you do not have yourself.
- **Matching job templates**: templates for this vehicle – *Pick list from template* uses them directly.

### Onto a pick list

The free tools are already ticked. Enter the job order number and click **Ticked tools on one pick list** – the pick list form opens with all tools, the job order number and the vehicle as a note. Choose the employee, issue, done.

Is the vehicle only coming in one of the next days? Choose **Issue on** and **Plan for this day**: Tulz reserves the tools until they are issued – even those still on loan today (see *Plan a pick list for later*).

### Tool missing?

If Tulz finds nothing or something important is missing, **Request a purchase** takes you straight to a purchase request – with vehicle and job order already filled in.
