How to create a rental agreement by hand. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.

The steps, written out

  1. Open Rental agreements and press New agreement (you need Owner / Administrator, Office Manager, Accounts & Billing or Sales & Estimating).
  2. Choose the Customer and the Job (both required) and set the Start date, which is also the first day of the billing cycle.
  3. Choose Rate basis / billing cycle and Billing timing, and set Minimum hire (days), Rental discount %, Payment terms (override), delivery and return charge per load, Labour rate per hour, Customer PO # and special terms.
  4. Press Save.
  5. On the agreement's Rates tab add negotiated item rates if they differ from the catalogue (see "How do I change a rate?").

Tip

Status defaults to Active. Choose Draft if you do not want it billed yet.
