Product configuration
When configuring rental reservations, consider the following points:
• Create rentals items and components as you would for the standard rental product setup. See the Salesware Rentals document for details.
• Set up products in SysManager > Activities > DCIs > New/Edit > General tab with Admissions = 1 and check the check box for Use Admission only for price calculation. The Admissions setting forces several key functions:
• The calendar displays on the ItemShow.aspx page.
• The customer must select an arrival date (assuming LeadTime setting in site config is > 1).
• Sale saves instead of finalizes at Sales Host.
• Rental products can have optional modifiers for paid add-on’s like helmets, etc.
• Add the SETRENTALSHOP() macro to the Action to execute when this item is sold on the web field on the Web tab of the Item Edit form in SysManager.
Example:
SETRENTALSHOP (Village Shop) or SETRENTALSHOP (Main Shop, Nordic Shop, Village Shop). This then sets the Rental Shop dropdown on the ItemShow.aspx page to either a single shop as in the first example or a list of shops if more than one is specified with the macro as shown in the second example, thus allowing the guest to select the rental shop they want.
• Set up items to print a rental label or form with all collected rental information. Common fields used are name, address, phone, height, weight, age, skier ability, stance, rental location, rental date and rental products.
• No liability is set up because the customer signs a rental form when the equipment is picked up.
