For operations that pre-print RAs, a field is provided in the Edit Misc. Control File that controls into which status preprinted RAs are placed: "Void-P", "Hold-P", or "Open-P". When "Open-P" status is chosen, and there is a "lite board" displaying the names of customers on the Open-P RAs, it is necessary to process the preprinted RAs that were not opened due to the renter being either late or being a no-show so that their name comes off the light board.

This program, which can be run manually from the menu, or automatically at a certain frequency (contact Thermeon's Customer Support Dept.) does the following:

When the pickup date/time plus the number of Liteboard Grace Minutes (see a field in the Edit Misc. Control File) is less than the current date/time and the the vehicle is assigned to a stall number on the RA, the stall number is initialized and the RA is queued up to be deleted from the lite board.

To access the Process Expired Open Preprints program, type EDITMISC (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Additional Daily Tasks Sub-menu of the Daily Procedures menu. Page one will then display:

OPTION: __ PROCESS EXPIRED OPEN PREPRINTS 1SAVE 2 3 4 5 6 7HELP 8

Press "F1" from the "OPTION" field to run the program.
