What is the Re-rent register and how do I record equipment hired in from another company

What is the Re-rent register and how do I record equipment hired in from another company. The Re-rent register tracks equipment you hire from other rental companies to cover a job, with its cost and due-back date.

The steps, written out

  1. Press New re-rent.
  2. Enter the Vendor and the Job (both required), the vendor contact and Vendor contract / PO #.
  3. Choose Delivery: Direct to job site (own stock is not touched) or Received into yard (the equipment is added to yard stock, so choose the Received at yard).
  4. Choose the Vendor billing period (Daily, Weekly, 28-day or Monthly), the Hired date and the Due back date.
  5. Add the items with Qty and Cost per unit / period. Tick Pass cost through to the customer and set the markup % if the customer pays for it.
  6. Press Save re-rent.

Tip

The list flags Overdue, Can go back early (your own stock is now free) and pass-through. Re-rent cost is included in the job's profit. Owners, Office Managers and Yard Managers can edit; Dispatchers, Accounts and Sales can view.
