Settings descriptions

Program ID Field Heading Description
'Rental Agreement. Update' (STS915/E) Agr order Type

The auxiliary program updates existing rental agreements with a rental depot. The selected agreement order type determines which rental agreements are updated. If a rental agreement is created with the selected order type, a check is performed to see whether the agreement requires an update. If a rental depot is not set on the agreement header, the agreement is updated with the rental depot selected in this program. If a rental depot is already set on the agreement, no update occurs.

If the 'Rental depot' field (DPOT) is blank on the agreement order header, the rental agreement is migrated from a previous version of M3 and requires an update with a rental depot.
