At busy rental counters it is often advantageous to preprint rental agreements from the reservation information.

When a RA is preprinted, the Reservation changes to status "F" (filled), and the preprinted RA number is automatically linked to the reservation. (The RA number is shown in the Misc. subwindow of Reservations.)

If the renter does not show up, the following should happen prior to processing No Shows.
The tasks listed above are performed by this program. Although this program can be run manually from a menu, it it designed to be run automatically.

No-Show Processing will change the status of the reservation to "N" (Noshow).

Should the renter show up the next day, the reservation can be used to open a new RA because the preprinted RA number has been removed from the reservation.

To access the Batch Void Preprint RA's program, type NOSHOW(RET) at any Menu "OPTION:"field or the appropriate line number on the Reservation Menu. The screen will then display:
