Note:

  • If a Vehicle ID and Vehicle Name combination already exists in the fleet account or the partner/reseller cloud and
    • If the same Vehicle ID and Vehicle Name is sent in the request, then the request will be ignored with an appropriate message indicating that duplicate records were not added.
    • If the Vehicle ID is same but Vehicle Name is different, then an appropriate message is sent in the response indicating that duplicate records were not added.
