June 2024: Recent Updates

There have been a few recent updates made in RCM, and they are detailed below. 

Utilisation Rates in Packages

RCM Rate Type Packages can now use utilisation rates. Utilisation rates (if set up) will apply to these package bookings in the same way as they apply to non-package bookings. This includes both bookings made via RCM and those made via the APIs.

Time to Delete Payments

For users that do not have permission to update and delete payments, there can be a short period of time after they create a payment that they are able to update or delete it. This is in case any mistakes are made when entering the information and, by default, this grace period is 20 minutes long. RCM is now able to either remove this grace period or make it as long as you need. To configure this new setting, please contact support@rentalcarmanager.com.

New Fields and Filters in Reports

  1. The Vehicle Status report now has a filter that allows you to search by the vehicle's current location.
  2. The Booking Export Report now has a field to indicate whether or not a vehicle is virtual. It also has a new field displaying the Booking Reference ID. 
  3. The Vehicle Export API Method also now has a field indicating whether or not a vehicle is virtual. 
  4. The Infringement List can now be searched by the Obligation Number of an infringement. 
  5. The Agencies Commission Report now has a filter to search by brand, if branding is enabled in your RCM system. 

The Duplicate Booking Report

This report is designed to find any bookings with the same customer, pickup date and drop off date, so you can locate any duplicate booking that might have been created. It used to only check if the customer record against the bookings was the same. It has now been updated to also find bookings with different customer records, where those records share the same first and last names.
