The Business Hours section of the Rentals page is used by System Five to create and display the Rental Scheduler. The Rental Start Time and Rental End Time provide the information required to customize the available time slots on the Rental Scheduler and establish the hours of operation. In addition to providing the Business Hours for each day of the week, the number of hours considered to be a Full Days Rental must be specified. The value may be different than the total number of Business hours in a given day. The Start Time and End Time entered here for each day are used by the Do not charge hourly rates on rentals when closed option to calculate overnight charges..
The Rental Business Hours are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: The Business Hours
There is a tab provided for each day of the week. Enter the time the business opens in the Rental Start Time box and the time the business closes in the Rental End Time box.
To setup one or more days as Non-chargeable, or free days, set the Non-chargeable Day check box. For example, if Sunday is a Non-chargeable day and an item is rented out on Saturday at 7:00 am and returned by 7:00 am Monday, then the rental charge will be for only one day.
In addition to providing the Business Hours for each day of the week, the number of hours considered to be a Full Day Rental must be specified. The value may be different than the total number of Business Hours in a given day. The Hours In Rental Day box is shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2: The Hours In Rental Day box
This entry provides the ability to set a standard number of hours for a Full Day Rental. This value applies to all days of the week regardless of the number of hours the business is open on each day. This value is used when calculating rentals that span more than one day, which also are affected by the Do not charge hourly rates on rentals when closed option.
