CARS+ can be configured so that the Daily Business report (DBR) is automatically posted at the same time each day. For example, the previous day's rental business can be scheduled to post at 2 am the next day. Like any other posting run, an autoposted DBR produces a DBR report. But unlike a manual posting run, this report is NOT sent to a printer but is written instead as a file to the hard disk of the computer so that it can be printed at a later more convenient time. See the chapter Overview - Automatic Posting for more detailed information on this feature.

THE NEXT FIELDS DIFFER DEPENDING ON THE VERSION OF THE PROGRAM BEING USED.

For PRTDBR:

3. LOCATION

Enter

  1. Up to 6 alphanumeric characters to select a single location.

  2. A Group Name representing several locations (see the Chapter Edit Group Names for a discussion on location groups). Remember, the first character of a Group Name is the plus sign "+". See the MORE INFORMATION paragraph below.

  3. "ALL" to include all locations

Press RETURN to accept your default location.

EXAMPLE: Type TUS (RET)

MORE INFORMATION: When autoposting, locations can be posted either one at a time or they can be set up to post by a Location Group Code (for example all locations in the Pacific Time zone can be autoposted as a group at a different time than those in the Mountain Time Zone). If your system is set up to autopost by Location Groups, you MUST enter a posting Group Code here as there will be no reports created for individual locations. This also affects how you must answer the question in Field 4 below.
4. GROUP RPT
 Based on how locations are autoposted and what was entered in Field 3 above enter:

If locations are autoposted by Location Groups enter Y in this field.

If locations are autoposted by each individual Location Code yet a Location Group Code was entered in Field 3 above, enter N in this field. This tells the program not to look for a report named after the Group Code but rather to find all locations that are members of the group and print them in a single run. BUT NOTE: you will still end up with individual DBR reports. You will NOT have a summary page that subtotals all transactions within the group as you would if you ran the Account DBR program for the same Location Group.

In all other cases, enter N in this field.

EXAMPLE: Type N (RET)
5. PRINT SETTLEMENT
 This field is used to print a settlement report with the DBRA. Enter:

Y = Yes, print a settlement report for each location.
N = No, do not print a settlement report for each location.

EXAMPLE: Press (RET)

Note to Thermeon Support: Requires settlement report to be in the directory stl/$LOC under the CARS+ base installation directory.

For PRTDB2:
3. GROUP CODE
 This version of the program does NOT support the autoposting of individual Locations. It assumes that all locations were autoposted by one or more Location Groups.
Enter the Location Group Code of the report to be printed. Or leave this field blank if you wish to select reports by Company Posting ID (Field 4).

EXAMPLE: +OC (RET)
4. COMP ID
 To select DBR reports by the Posting Company of locations, enter a two character Posting Company Code here. DBR reports whose locations have a matching Posting Company Code will be selected to print.

EXAMPLE; Type 00 (RET)
