Transfer Rental to Sale
Inventory Control Menu -> Rental/Sale Transfers -> Transfer Rental to Sale
When a rental item has outlived its useful rental life, it can be transferred to the Used Sale Inventory.
This stops the depreciation, when the item is no longer being rented. Usually, special inventory accounts and separate product classes are used to distinguished Used Sale inventory from regular merchandise.
When a rental is transferred to sales, it can be transferred to an existing product number, or a new number can be created.
Note: If a new number is created for each transfer, historical costs can be kept accurate and separate. If added to an existing number, the old stock will be averaged with the new transfer inventory.
When the new sales item is created, the same product number as before can be used, prefaced with a U to identify it as USED.
e.g. 110-5 becomes U110-5 when transferred to used inventory.
This helps cross reference the equipment, when looking up past rental or repair history for a potential buyer.
When the rental to sale transfer is accepted, an inventory transfer entry is automatically recorded on the Rental Journal, which posts with Daily Close 3.
Note: The used inventory is transferred at Book Value.
The inventory transfer posting entry is as follows:
Rental Inventory is CREDITED Acct# 1300 With the original cost
Accum. Depreciation is DEBITED Acct# 1301 With the accumulated depreciation
Used Inventory is DEBITED Acct# 1260 With the Book Value
The journal entry shows: Source = Transfer #
Reference = XFER RENTAL TO SALE
Details = FR "product#" TO "product#"
The prompts to enter a transfer are:
TRANSFER TRANSACTION #
Accept the next assigned transfer #.
FROM PRODUCT #
Enter the rental product which is being transferred, or select it from the Inventory Search window.
PRODUCT CLASS
The Product Class assigned to this rental item will display.
GROUP
The Group assigned to this rental item will display.
TRANSFER TO PRODUCT #
To create a new sales part record, enter in the new product number, class, and group, or accept the default sales part number generated per the Sales Product Mask setup in the Company Inventory Parameters.
The ability to transfer to a new sales product can be controlled by the Add Sales Inventory flag set in the operator's Security Role Permission.
When creating a new sales part record, the option is provided to click the 
icon and to select a similar sales part from a similar class and group.
The new product # will then inherit the same class and group from the existing product identified.
Alternatively the product may be transferred to an existing sales product number by entering the Sales part #, or selecting it from the Inventory Search window.
This will dictate the class and product for the sales product.
Note: When iRely is enabled in the ERP Integration configuration then the standard 'Sales Product Mask' defined in the Company Inventory Parameters does not apply when creating new Sales Inventory and instead the product# is assigned from an external REST iRely API which cannot be over-typed.
PRODUCT CLASS
If the class has not been determined, enter the sales Product Class for this item or search for it in the window as outlined in Product Class Search.
The Class change is tracked in the Audit Log.
The new sales product being created will be flagged as Inventory Yes or No, depending on the type of GL account assigned as the "Inventory" posting account in the Sales Product Class.
Refer to Inventory Flag Defaults for further information on how this flag is set when inventory is "auto-added" into inventory.
Note: To prevent blank dates in transactions posted to the GLGL the 'Sale to Rental Transfers' and the 'Rental to Sale Transfers' utilities will report an error by email to development@texadasoftware.com when a blank GL transaction is encountered while creating entries.
GROUP
If the group has not been determined, enter the group for this sales item or search for it in the window as outlined in Group Search.
The Group change is tracked in the Audit Log.
SmartEquip - Duplicate Part Warning:
The SmartEquip - Duplicate Products in Same Stock Class warning is triggered if the SmartEquip feature is activated in the Software Integration, when the Sales part is assigned the same Vendor Product # as another Sales part in the same Group.
The warning is displayed with all matches to the Vendor Product # in the Group but it does not stop the operator from proceeding.
This transfer rental to sales action copies the rental Vendor Product # automatically to the sales part, but the Vendor Product # can be changed in the Update Vendor Product # and Description utility if required.
FROM DIVISION
Enter the division which will be used when posting the transfer, or select it from the drop-down list.

Quantity Control:
If the rental product quantity requested to be converted to a sales part is more than the "Quantity On Hand" of the rental product, the warning "Quantity transferred XX is greater than quantity on hand" is triggered and the transfer is only allowed if the flag to "Allow Overrides On Location Quantities" is set to Yes in the Company Security Parameters.
If the "Allow Overrides On Location Quantities" flag is set to No then the transfer cannot be completed because of insufficient quantity.
Note: It does not check the committed requirements of other documents such as on Contract, on Order, on Transfer, etc.

A window opens, so that a Fixed Asset tag and the appropriate G/L Accounts may be selected.
Select a quantity from the tags that equals the transfer quantity, as displayed at the top of the window, as follows:
