On the appraisal item record, you can add or modify other details. For example, you can specify the exterior color, manufactured date, purchased date, and whether the handover is completed for the vehicle. Other fields, such as Total Adjustment Value and Final Value, are populated automatically based on the valuations and adjustments.
