Pay-up-front: Self Entry after rental purchase
 
Guest purchases rentals; operator is not required to enter guest information; operator finalizes the sale; a rental ticket prints that includes the Rental form barcode and the transaction number from the rental sale; guest proceeds to Self Entry where he enters the Transaction Number provided at the time of the sale along with any other required information; Sales Host utility syncs the Self Entry record with the transaction number to create the required rental data; guest proceeds to a TechStation.
If an operator does enter guest information during the sale (such as in reservations), there is no need for the guest to proceed to Self Entry; the guest can go directly to the TechStation.
Any salespoint that finalizes rental sales needs to have the following inserted in the local Sales32c.INI file:
 
[Server]
RentEZ=0.0.0.0:4207
StartupRentEZ=TRUE
 
Replace the 0.0.0.0 with the IP address of the computer where RentEZ application is installed (RentEZ is usually installed on the rental shop server, so make sure to configure the correct IP address if there is more than one rental shop/RentEZ install). These settings are not necessary if a salespoint only saves sales with rental items. The connection to RentEZ is really only necessary upon the finalization of the rental items.
When directing guests to Self Entry after the rental items have been purchased, the following Sales32c.INI settings are required.
