For operations that immediately shuttle back their vehicles to the opening location, this change in fleet size creates problems. Therefore, use this program to set up an exemption record for one way rentals and non-revs between owned locations.
To access the program, type EDT1WAY (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate number on the Planning Menu. The screen will then display:
| OPTION: EDIT ONEWAY EXEMPT RECORDS 1 Location 1 2 Location 2 3 One-way exempt 1 to 2 4 One-way exempt 2 to 1 1SAVE 2NEXT 3ERASE 4DELETE 5BACKUP 6 7HELP 8 |

|
1. LOCATION 1 |
Enter up to 6 alphanumeric characters for a single location. EXAMPLE: Type SNA (RET) |

2. LOCATION 2 |
Enter up to 6 alphanumeric characters for another single location. EXAMPLE: Type TUS (RET) If the locations are not entered in alphabetical order, the following message will display:

User Tip:
Note that this program is used to exempt one-way rentals and no-revs between OWNED locations. For one-way rentals and non-revs to FOREIGN locations, note the following:
One way Rentals and Non-Revs to Foreign Locations
The size of the fleet at the renting location is reduced and the unit drops off of the Planning Calendar entirely (as of the anticipated close date) until it re-enters your system via Foreign RA Entry, or you shuttle it back into the system via Vehicle History Update, Make Vehicle Available, or Non-Rev Movement.
Exceptions
Some locations that often rent vehicles one-way to a nearby foreign location may shuttle back their vehicles immediately (to the opening location). In this case, in order for the one-ways NOT to drop off of the Planning Calendar, the foreign location can be made "Exempt" so that there is no reduction in fleet size when entering a one-way transaction to that particular foreign location.
Foreign Locations can be made "exempt "in their record in the Customer File.
