The Res/Operating/Ideal Fleet Report is designed for RV rental operations.

Traditionally, RV rentals return in the morning and new rentals begin in the afternoon. On this report, each day is divided into just 2 sections: AM and PM. That is, regardless of whether the unit is due back at 8 am or 11 am, it's 'committed' for the entire morning. Similarly, a unit that is reserved with a check out time of 1 pm or 5 pm is 'committed' for the entire afternoon.

User tip: When customers can purchase an 'early-bird special' which allows them to pick up the unit early in the morning and return it late in the day, it is not possible to do same day turnarounds. It is better to use the Res/Operating Fleet Report (also on the Planning Menu) which shows the unit as 'committed' for the entire day of pickup and return.

To access the Res/Operating/Ideal Fleet Report program, type PRTRIF (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Planning menu. The screen will then display:
