#About Vehicle Cost Profiles
Fuel, depreciation, maintenance, driver and toll assumptions that plan the cost of a trip. This is a working page: a list or workspace where you find and act on records in BSuit ERP (Transport). It is used by staff (internal users). What you can see and do depends on your role and permissions.
#How to open it
In BSuit ERP, open Transport and choose “Vehicle Cost Profiles”, or go directly to the address /transport/vehicle-cost-profiles.
#What you can do here
These controls are present in the page’s implementation. Whether you see a given one also depends on your permissions and on the data shown.
- Add new records — a form opens for the details.
- Change existing records.
- Delete records (you are asked to confirm).
- Bring records in from a file.
- Export what you see to a file.
- Print or save as PDF.
- Attach or upload files.
- Search within the page.
- Filter the data shown.
- Sort by a column.

#How to add a cost profile
Steps follow this page’s form. You need permission to create records here.
- Open Transport › Vehicle Cost Profiles from the menu.
- Choose the Add button (a plus icon) above the list.
- Complete the required fields: Code, Profile Name.
- Save. The new record appears in the list; use search or the filters to find it again.
- To change it later, open the record from the list and edit it.
- Deleting asks you to confirm. Records that other records refer to may be refused or may affect them (see “Where … is used as a reference”).
#If something is missing or fails
- No data: confirm the company or context selected in the top bar, and any filters or date range in use.
- An action is hidden or disabled: it usually needs a permission your role does not have. Ask an administrator to check your effective access.
- An error message appears: note the message, the page address and what you were doing, and contact support with those details (never include passwords).
