SIM enables as default to manage a fleet of equipment or tools that
are removed from stock and then brought back.
The user's name
can be entered in the comment field.
It is more convenient to
use the Client or Business option to then filter the log data.
To simplify access to the history and easily calculate a rental
price, the RENTAL option allows you to add a tab.
Principles
You need the CLIENT option.
Inputs and outputs are executed as
usual.
The log continues to be updated as usual, but each input
or output operation that includes a customer is also sent to the
rental list.
Display
A rental record is created each time an output is issued for a
customer.
If the customer has not yet retrieved the reference in
question, a new record is created.
If customer X has already
removed a quantity N from reference P, then reference outputs P will
be added to the same rental.
If an entry is made that covers or
exceeds the number of references issued, the rental has a balanced
status and will only be visible by clicking on the box at the top
right of the screen.
Billing
The daily rental rate for a reference is defined by
the UnitBuy column.
A rental record contains
two dates: Start and End.
The
first is the date of creation, the first release of material.
The second is not always the end date, it is the date of the last
intervention.
For each intervention, i.e. an input or output of
the same reference for the same customer, the total
to be paid is calculated with the rate.
Total (N+1) = Total (N) + (Current Date - End Date) x rate x quantity
This calculation method enables the most accurate invoicing of
material outputs, including when quantities vary, and when prices
vary.
While keeping it simple.
If you wish to have more
information, you can always refer to the log.
Actions
Like all tabs, this one is equipped with buttons that allow
searches, export to a CSV file for Excel, editing - at your own risk
- a record.
The Balanced box allows you to
choose between active, current, and completed, balanced rentals.
Parameter setting
There are three variants of the rental mode, similar to batch
management, which are set up as follows:
- LOCATION = 1 - Family names that contain the # character
will be subject to rental
- LOCATION = 2 - Family names that contain the # character are
exempt from rental
- LOCATION = 3 - All families are subject to rental
This system allows you to have products in the same SIM that are
subject to rental or not.
