9. UNPOSTED ONLY

This field and the next one work in conjunction. A particular CARS+ user pays commissions on open reservations (before they become rental agreements).

All other CARS+ users should press (RET) and accept the default of "Y".

EXAMPLE: Press (RET)

10. DO POSTING

As mentioned above, this field and the previous one work in conjunction. A particular CARS+ user pays commissions on open reservations (before they become rental agreements). With that user in mind, posting of commissions can take place with this program.

WARNING: When commissions are posted through this program, they will NOT appear on the Vendor Commissions Report.

Except for the particular CARS+ customer who uses this program to post commissions prior to the rentals taking place, all other CARS+ users should press (RET) and accept the default answer "N".

Y = Yes. Post commissions.

N = No. Print, but do not post commissions.

This report contains a calculation of rental length called "DBR Days" (or just "Days"). One of two possible formulas are used in CARS+ to calculate this figure. To chose the formula to be used in this as well as over fifty other CARS+ reports, go to Page 5, Field 3 of Edit Miscellaneous Control Fields.
