Rentable equipment

To use a serialized item as a rentable equipment, in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session, you must:

  • Select the Rentable check box.
  • Specify the details on the Rented tab.
    Note: You must select the item from the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, for which the Item Type field is set to Equipment.

A rentable serialized item can be used as the main rentable equipment for which the rental agreement (service order activity) is created, or as a sub-equipment linked to the related material lines.

You can link a rentable serialized item to service objects such as a reference activity or a service order activity.

You can use the Rental Equipment Calendar Manual Reservations (tscfg2163m000) session to change the In Use by Employee data manually if the item is not linked to an active manual reservation. Because the rental calendar is based on the serialized item calendar and availability type, you must run the Update Rental Equipment Calendar (tscfg2262m100) after the In Use by Employee data is modified.

Infor LN displays a message to confirm if the equipment calendar must be created when:

  • You select the Rentable check box for the item. OR,
  • You modify the Calendar or the Availability Type.

If you select Yes, Infor LN displays the Create Rental Equipment Calendar (tscfg2262m000) session to review the data that is defaulted from the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. If required, you can modify the Calendar Start Date.

Note: The message is displayed only if an equipment calendar does not exist for the combination of the Serialized Item, Calendar and Availability Type, in the Rental Equipment Calendar (tscfg2562m000) session.

If the equipment is rented out, you cannot supersede this equipment.

You can link skills to a serialized item even if the Equipment as a Service check box is cleared in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. You can link the required skills for a serialized item using the Skill Requirements by Serialized Item (tscfg2105m000) session, if the Skills check box is selected in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session.

You can create a customer and supplier claim for a rental agreement. The claim can be generated or created manually.
