Make Equipment Available

It is usually not feasible for large optional equipment such as child seats and hand trucks to be kept at the rental counter. There just isn’t enough space to accommodate them. Instead, a ticket can be printed for each piece of equipment that is available for rental so that the printed ticket can be delivered to the rental counter (much like a set of keys is delivered for an available vehicle.)

Use this program to:

Change the current status of equipment items to "A" (available).
Print a ready ticket for equipment items.

Hand-held mode: This program can be accessed from a hand-held terminal.

To access the Make Equipment Available program, type MAKEQP (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Dispatch menu. The screen will then display:

OPTION: __ MAKE EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE

Data will display in the following fields:

MAKE	=Make of the item.
MODEL	=Model description of the item.
CURRENT STATUS	=The item’s current status.
	PRESS "F1" AT "OPTION:" TO SAVE. Upon pressing F1, the following fields in the Inventory file are updated: Status is changed to “A” Current Date and Time are changed to the system date and time Current Location is changed to the user’s location. If the Print Library file is configured to print a ready ticket, the following prompt will appear: PRINT READY TICKET? Enter: Y = A ready ticket will be printed for the item. N = the program will close.
