Register Rental Event

Explanation

This activity is used to register rental events. During a rental period, there may be various requirements to log events against a rental line. This could be to change the mode and/or for charging, or to simply log a note related to the rental.

The Manage Rentals page is used to register events for the rental line, and to update planned rental dates and other rental settings as required, while the rental is in progress.
Once the rental period finishes, the return is initiated from the Manage Rentals page, where you can also enter an end rental event to stop charging.
In case an item needs to be exchanged during the rental period, replacement orders can be created from the Manage Rentals page.

Prerequisites

Rental has to have been started for a rental line before a rental event can be entered.

System Effects

By entering a rental event, the details of the event will be stored in the Rental Events History. In case the event includes changing the mode and/or price factor this will be considered when generating rental transactions, either for newly created transactions, or (if transactions had already been generated for the time period the event refers to), for any adjustment transactions created.
