Finish Movement
A vehicle movement is carried out in two steps. The first step is for the rental operator for where the vehicle is currently located to open a movement log record and select the required location to where the vehicle is to be moved. At this stage the record has a status of Open. The second step is carried out by the rental operator at the destination location and utilises the Finish Movement option to confirm the arrival of the vehicle at that location and enable the subsequent hire of the vehicle from that location. Once complete, the record has a status of R to denote Finished (Returned).
The Finish Movement option effectively enables the bottom half (or Return section) of the the Movement Log form to be completed. At this stage the Currently at location field in the CRM Vehicle Rental record (MK.drveh) is updated to the location that is receiving the vehicle. Therefore, for revenue purposes the vehicle is now owned by the receiving location. The vehicle can be allocated to an agreement at the new location and the rental agreement started without any warnings.
