6. Click on the checkbox of Accept any Vehicle ID provided by drivers using SMS (without validation) if you want to accept any Vehicle ID given by your drivers via SMS, even if it does not match an existing Vehicle ID in your fleet.

| Note: This setting applies only to cards assigned to drivers, not cards assigned to vehicles. |
Now, capturing the Vehicle ID against transactions is enabled for all the Motive Cards in the Fleet.
Once enabled, Drivers receive an SMS or a notification to select a vehicle from the Driver App or SMS before using the Motive Card.
Once a Driver selects a vehicle from the Driver App or provides a vehicle ID via SMS, all transactions made in the next thirty minutes are tagged to the specified vehicle. After thirty minutes, the Driver needs to select a vehicle again.
| Note: The Vehicle ID Reporting is only enabled for Drivers having the Motive Driver App version 63.0 or higher, or if their mobile number is available in the system. |
| Note: If this feature is enabled, cardholders either need to be connected to the Vehicle Gateway, or they need to log in to the Driver App and select a vehicle, or they need to provide a vehicle ID via SMS before making a Motive Card transaction, otherwise the transaction gets immediately declined. |
Disable Vehicle ID reporting
1. Follow the steps from 1 to 3 from the Enable Vehicle ID Reporting section.
2. Uncheck the checkbox for Require Vehicle ID before every transaction.
3. Hit Save.
