Group vehicles by
A site manager sees their vehicles, while accounting sees the relevant cost centres — all from the same source list.
A flexible label on the vehicle record.
Thirty vehicles across several locations become distinct operating units as soon as somebody asks who pays for them.
The vehicles are on site while the list remains at head office.
One number covers everything, so anyone who needs a breakdown recreates it manually.
Either everyone sees the whole fleet or only fleet management sees anything.
A vehicle operates somewhere and a cost centre pays for it. Those are separate dimensions.
First dimension
Track where the vehicle is based, who drives it and who meets the service partner. Jobs can be bundled by location; with at least three vehicles per appointment, the travel charge is waived.
Second dimension
Track who pays the bill. Leasing, fuel and service costs follow the assigned cost centre, even when the vehicle changes location.

Permissions do not depend on a one-off user setting. When responsibility changes, update group membership.
For site managers
Deadlines, damage and appointments for the manager's own location, without access to other cost centres.
For fleet managers
Use the same view across every location, filtered rather than rebuilt each time.
For accounting
Every cost item remains linked to the vehicle and therefore to the cost centre that carries it.
Groups turn a fleet-wide total into an actionable breakdown.
Example fleet
Fleet TCO for this period is €227,268. As a number it says little. It tells you where the money is for each location and cost centre.
Per vehicle
M-DM 1002 costs €1,113.55 per month and 0.56 €/km. The same calculation applies to every vehicle in the group.
A group is more than a visual filter; it determines what happens next.
Every service is allocated to the location where it was delivered. View orders

Scoped permissions
The rule is enforced for every query on the server, not only in the interface.
The company admin assigns roles to their organisational scope.
Users see only vehicles and activity within their scope.
Direct requests cannot bypass the scope rule.
