- Set either a Rental charge or Rental points.
- Press Tab or Enter, or click anywhere on the screen to enable the Save options.
- If there are records linked to the policy then you'll be prompted whether you want to update the existing policy or create a new one and deactivate the existing one.
- Click Update if you want to update the existing policy. The records linked to the policy will be updated.
- Click Create New if you want to create a new policy. The records linked to the existing (deactivated) policy will not be updated.
- Click Save or Save & Close.
Be sure to include the hire/rental on the
Charges tab in the borrower category. And this is where you specify the charge type (charge, fines or points).
The rental charge and rental points you specify here in the loan policy are used if there is no rental charge or rental points in the item.
The RENTWARN alert will be displayed when you issue an item with a rental charge.
