Missed Rentals
The ability to capture missed rental opportunities has been added to Texada Web! This feature allows you to keep track of potential rental opportunities that fell through, including the reason why the rental was missed and the value of the lost rental or sale.
To submit a missed rental, click the “Missed Rental” button in one of the following locations:
- To the right of the search bar on the Contract List page
- To the right of the search bar in the Products tab of the Create/Edit Contract page
- In the bottom-left corner of the Create/Edit Contract page
This will open the Missed Rental Transactions window, which will allow you to input a Customer, Division, date, Product or Group information, and estimated value for the missed rental.
Enter Purchase Order Information on Re-Rent
When adding a re-rental Product to a Contract, it is now possible to add the Product to an existing Purchase Order, or generate a new Purchase Order for the re-rental.
After creating a Contract containing a re-rental Product, the Purchase Order Information window will open automatically. This window allows you to enter information such as Vendor number, PO #, notes, rates and discount information, and shipping information. After submitting this information, the Purchase Order will be linked to the Contract for reference.
Product to a Contract. In Texada Web, this prompt will only appear after the Contract is created. This is to accommodate Texada Web’s Contract drafting feature.
This feature will only be activated if the User has the Contract - Create Linked Purchase Order permission, and the Product added to the Contract has Create PO from Contracts enabled.
