Checking Out a Unit

A reservation has to exist before a unit can be checked out.

  • Select the Reservations menu option (VTR). Press the F1 key to bring up a reservation list. The reservation list can be sorted ascending or descending by the reservation number, vehicle number or vendor. Also the list can be limited to Reservations (pending), Open (checked out) or Closed (checked in).
  • If needed, changes can be made to the check out information. (Requested by, Telephone Number, Charge Account, Scheduled Pickup and Return Dates, Customer Number, Contact, Telephone Number, Unit Number, Rate Code, Pick up from, Return to).
  • Click on the check out icon or the Check Out pull-down menu option.

The entry fields are as follows:

  • Picked Up By

Enter the name of the person who is picking up the unit or accept the default name displayed.

Press enter to continue or choose the nO button to re-enter the expiration date.
