Rentals : Rental item configuration Rental item configuration
The rental process flow of pay-up-front vs. pay-upon-return has a major impact on how rental items are configured.
• Pay-up-front rental processes require more product configuration as each rental package that may be purchased by the guest needs to be configured (1 Day Snowboard Package, 1 Day Snowboard Only, 2 Day Basic Ski Package, 2 Day Basic Ski with Boot Upgrade Package, etc.)
• Pay-upon-return rental processes only involve the configuration of a contract item that allows any type or level of equipment to be rented by the guest throughout the duration of the rental, but it also includes the configuration of Rental Auto-Sale Rules and Dynamic Pricing Rules. Any number of rental contract items may be configured in order to allow for varying Auto-Sale Rules (rules that determine how the guest is charged).
