Q. How can I enforce turn-around hours when allocating vehicles?
Within RCM you have the capability of enforcing a minimum period of time that must be kept between one booking being Returned and another being Hired (referred to here as turn-around hours) for vehicles. Whenever a check is made as to the availability of the vehicle, the turn-around hours will also be checked. This will occur whenever a booking is created or you are updating an allocated booking. It will also occur when allocating a vehicle to a booking.
This functionality is something you can choose to turn on or off via System Parameters.
If you wish to turn this functionality on, all you need to do is update the System Parameter: “Validate Vehicle Turn Around Hours” so that is it set to “Yes”. This option is found under the Booking Validation section. See the image below.
You will also need to ensure that you have the necessary records setup for turn around times that you wish to enforce.
You can view and edit turn around time records from the Turn Around Hours page (Vehicle Maintenance > Vehicle Categories > Turn Around Hours).
If you look at the image below you can see that you are able to set up turn around hours based on the following information:
