Default Event code and VIN

At what stage in the event code( e.g. 2000-3000) would a Vin become available?

Somewhere around 3800 I believe...
  • 1100, Preliminary order accepted
  • 2000, Order accepted by GM
  • 2030, Order re-edited (if necessary)
  • 2051, Order changed thru Web
  • 2500, Order preferenced
  • 3000, Order accepted by production control
  • 3100, Order available to sequence
  • 3300, Order scheduled for production
  • 3400, Order broadcast
  • 3800, Order produced
  • 4000, Available to ship
  • 4104, Bailment Invoice
  • 4200, Shipped
  • 4300, Intermediate Delivery
  • 4B00, Bayed
  • 5000, Delivered to the dealer
  • 6000, Delivered to the customer
  • 9000, Order Cancelled

Becomes available at 3800.

I believe it is created at 3300 but is definitely created for 3400 because that is when the stickers etc. that have the VIN need to be created.

Dealers can sometimes get it after 3400 but before 3800 but I am not sure how they can do it.

But at 3800 it is on the general server that CCS accesses as well as others such as BeckyD at Corvette7and mpuzach here.

I went back and looked at my saved conversations with Chevy chat. They gave me my Vin at 3300, and my salesman emailed me the same two days later.

Cool, you two. Confirms my long held belief that the VIN is created at 3300.

GM Corvette concierge told me a partial VIN is made at code 3300, with a full VIN at 3800.
