If there is insufficient authorization, the user is prompted to enter user code and password and the User Access File record is checked to see if the user is exempt from masking.

For IT records without "TOUR" in the Customer # Field (for Hertz operations, these would be local tours), it's assumed that the voucher covers the entire reserved period. Therefore, when an open reservation's pick up or return date is changed, the number of days on the voucher is changed accordingly. Thus, it is not necessary to edit the voucher days. | 33486 |
