Purpose
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.
To turn this functionality on, you need to update the System Parameter: “Validate Vehicle Turn Around Hours” so that is it set to “Yes” as below.
You will also need to ensure that you have the necessary records setup for turn around times that you wish to enforce.
Accessing Vehicle Turn Around Hours
You can view and edit turn around time records from the Turn Around Hours page - Agent Bookings Setup > Vehicle Turnaround Hours
You are able to set up turn around hours based on the following information:
