Clients without a vehicle

You can create customer profiles or edit customer profiles specifically for customers with no vehicle. This is the simplest method for building estimates and invoicing customers without a vehicle because it will disable all vehicle-related messages, alerts and reminders for these customers. This configuration should be in force for your counter customer, for example.
