1. The operator adds a rental contract item to the sale and adds the appropriate guest record when prompted or the operator clicks the Import Self Entry main action button and selects one or more guests from the list; this auto-sells items of the specified DCI with the selected guests attached.

2. The operator clicks on the Start Contract main action button.

3. If any rental contract items have guest records associated that are missing required information (such as skier type or rental shop), the operator is notified of the missing information and must correct the issue before the rental contracts may be started.

4. In addition to missing information (such as skier type or rental shop) the operator is notified if any guests attached to rental contract items do not have credit cards on-file. If the operator chooses to continue anyway, he is taken to a list of contract items included in the sale. If the operator chooses to correct the issue, he is taken back to the Sales screen where the first guest with missing credit card information is selected.

5. Once the operator has dealt with any missing required guest information or security deposits, he clicks on the Start Contract main action button, which displays a list of rental contracts included in the sale.

6. If the operator wants to start contracts for all rentals included in the sale, he simply clicks Save. If the operator wants to wait to start contracts for certain guests in the sale, he de-selects the contract items that are not started, and then clicks Save.
