Product Inquiry Status Code Sort Order

System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> Division Parameters -> Division Inventory Parameters -> Status Code Sort Order window -> Product Inquiry Sort Order

The equipment listed in the Inventory Search window can be sorted and displayed in a selected Product Status order for non-bulk rental products, defined by individual divisions.
This Status Code sort sequence can be set as the Primary or Secondary sort option as defined in the Division Inventory Parameters.

An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the Operations - Product Inquiry Sort Order in order to access this table.

The sort can include both the reserved system assigned status codes and customized status codes as setup in Product Status Codes only if the Use Requirements when Calculating Availability feature is activated for the division in the Division Inventory Parameters.
If the Use Requirements when Calculating Availability is not activated, only the four reserved codes C, R, W, O are recognized in the product selection results for the division.

The equipment lookup window is available in the counter options Counter Worksheet, and in Contracts.

For example a division could be set to display all non-bulk rental items in the selected range that have a status of A for Active first, then P for items in the range that are on a Pickup ticket and will be back soon, etc.

Note: This sort feature does NOT apply to bulk items or sales parts.

Reserved product status codes include:

C: ON CONTRACT
D: ON A DELIVERY
E: EXCHANGED BUT NOT YET AVAILABLE
F: MANUAL OFF RENTAL
I: ON AN INVENTORY TRANSFER
L: ON A CAR RENTAL LEASE
O: ON A SALES ORDER
P: ON A PICKUP
R: ON A RESERVATION
S: ON A SAVED COUNTER WORKSHEET
W: ON A WORK ORDER
X: ON A PICKUP EXCHANGE
CP: ON A CLOSED PICKUP TICKET but not yet Rental Returned

The prompts to setup the order to display products by status code are:

DIVISION

Enter the relevant division or select one from the drop-down list.
The Division field is display only, when this table is called from the Division Inventory Parameters.

Note: The security by division feature as determined by Divisional Restricted Views does not apply to the inventory sort setup.

SEQ

The sequence numbers track the order of the records in the file.
Non-bulk rental products having the product status code entered in sequence 001 will be listed first in the Inventory Search, and non-bulk rental products having the product status code in sequence 002 will be listed next, etc.

CODE

List the product status code to be displayed according to the sequence # order.
A window in the Code field is provided to view and select the status codes as outlined in Product Status Codes Search.

A 'Blank' Status Code is also accepted in the sort sequence order setup.
This would include any non-bulk products that have neither a Reserved Status Code nor a Product Status Code.
