Transfer Sale to Rental


Inventory Control Menu -> Rental/Sale Transfers -> 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.

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#"
The prompts to enter the transfer are:

Add New Product Number:
If the operator has role permission to add new rental products, a window is provided on the Description field in the Inventory Search window to add a new rental product number, as explained in Add Rental Products.
The corresponding Fixed Asset Tag is created to capture the transfer information regardless of the Add Asset Tag In Warehouse setting in the Company Inventory Parameters.

The ability to transfer to a new rental product adding it to the fleet can be controlled by the Add Rental Inventory flag set in the operator's Security Role Permission.

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.


TAG NUMBER
Select a tag number from the window, as outlined in Asset Tag Search.

If the Rental product is a Bulk product that allows multiple tags, and the divisional flag to Disable Merging Asset Tags is set in the Divisional Inventory Parameters a new Tag can be created as outlined in Set New Asset Tag Values.

If a new tag has just been added, the location will default from the owning location entered on the tag. This may be over-typed if required.

When transferring serialized sales items, the transfers must be entered 1 at a time.

If the Fixed Asset Tag for the rental equipment has been entered, the serial number from the tag is displayed.

The Serial # can be omitted at this time, if the serialized item is flagged to enter serial numbers at Time of Sale.

No Default:
If no serial number defaults, type in a serial number if applicable.
This will be recorded on the fixed asset tag of the new rental product.

Note: If SmartEquip is activated in the Software Integration the serial number on the Fixed Asset Tag becomes mandatory for non-bulk rental equipment.

TRANSFER POSTING DATE
This is the date used for the journal entry, and for the date acquired on the fixed asset tag.

Date Range Control:
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.
