Transfer Sale to Rental

This program transfers sales inventory to the rental fleet.
It could be used for example, if 20 Chainsaws are purchased for re-sale, but then there aren't enough chainsaws in the rental fleet, so one could be taken from the sales stock and used for rental.

• For Bulk Rental items with only one tag, an existing product number can be selected and the existing tag must always be selected for the transfer, or a new product with one tag can be added.
• For Bulk Rental items with multiple tags a new fixed asset tag should be used to track the acquisition date and tag information on an existing or new product.
  • In Divisional Inventory Parameters there is an optional parameter that can be set to disable merging Fixed Asset Tags for Bulk items with multiple tags, and forces a new tag to be generated.
  • If this option has not been activated, and the new tag is created in advance do not fill in the quantity or costs on the new fixed asset tag as this will be captured by the transfer.
• To transfer to a Non-bulk product number, the quantity, cost, and fixed asset information, should not be filled in on the fixed asset tag in advance, as this will be captured by the transfer.

Clone Rental or Sales Products can also be used to create the new product with a tag if a similar item already exists, but do not add quantities or the fixed asset information with the clone program, as this will be captured by the transfer.

When the transfer is completed, the software will automatically create a sale to rental inventory journal entry, which will appear on the Rental Journal when Daily Close 3 is run.
The inventory transfer entry looks like this:

        Sales Inventory is  CREDITED Acct# 1240 with the total cost.
        Rental Inventory is DEBITED  Acct# 1300 with the total cost.

        The journal entry shows:
                   Source    = Transfer #
                   Reference = XFER SALE TO RENTAL
                   Details   = FR "product#"  TO  "product#"

If the operator does not have the ability to over-ride the current date range, the transfer date will be checked to make sure the date is valid against the date ranges set as acceptable for module RSPM in Date Range Control.
