Rental Items
Controlling Rental Items
Symphony POS can control rental items by setting the items as rental, and defining the rental
parameters. Symphony POS rental items could include video films in a c-store, VCR machines,
strollers in a zoo, etc. There are 2 types of rental items in Symphony POS and they must be defined in
the item maintenance.
Method type must be set to G or to H for rental items.
Type G should be used for rental items that are rented for different periods of time. Example of type G
rental item is a VCR or Nintendo machine that may be rented for a day, a weekend or a week at a time.
Type H is used for items that share the same rental period. This would often be the case for most films
in a C-store because they are rented for a fixed 24 hour period and no other choice is available.
Choosing method type G for an item will modify the fields available in the price column. No "S ale "
column is available with type G. Price levels are available. Type H items use the price exactly the way
normal items do.
This example shows the Item table's "Price" tab with "G" type rental is selected.
The first field available in Method type G items is the length of the rental period in hours. The next field
is a description of the rental period. The final field is the price for that period of rental. Add as many
rental periods as required for the item being added. If you select Default , Symphony POS will use it as
the default rental period, even though multiple periods have been selected. If you do not select a
default period, Symphony POS will open a choice window for the operator to select the proper period
whenever the item is rented. If you select a default rental period, the Price Modify button can be used
to override the default status an pop up the list to permit operator selection.
