Extra Item Availability Report

Extra Item Availability Report

Purpose:

Rental Car Manager (RCM) has an Extra Item function which allows you to keep track of physical items that go out with a vehicle when it is Hired. An example might be Car Seats or GPS devices.
The Extra Items Availability report allows you to see at a glance the availability of these extra items on a daily basis. This would allow you to make sure that you have the correct number of items available in a location for a specific date. If you can see that you will not have enough items for a day, running this report gives you the opportunity to move items around between locations, or even highlight if you may need to purchase more.
