User tip: For those users who use the currency conversion programs for rates, enter rates in your native currency.
Note: Access to Edit Fuel Rates is also available in an unrestricted mode through the program Edit Fuel Rates. In that mode, all fields can be accessed and new records with new effective dates can be created.
In the restricted mode, the pre-purchase price may be changed as frequently as necessary. Changes with the current date go into effect immediately on any subsequently opened RAs.
To access the Edit Fuel Rate program, type FUELR (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Rental Rates menu. The screen will then display:
