About Line Linking

The ability to group lines on the rental invoice allows you to manually create the relationship between lines from Rental Booking/Agreement Entry.

Several conditions apply to linking rental lines:

• A line can only be linked to one line.
• One line can have unlimited linked lines.
• A line cannot be linked to itself.
• When transferring a line with linked lines:
  • All lines must be off-rental.
  • Meter reading needs to have a value unless the overage rate is $0.00.
  • All lines transfer (the line in addition to the linked lines).
• In the Rental Agreement Line Entry window:
  • In the On Rental section, the On Rental Date is tied to the parent and update when the parent is changed. However, the linked line can be updated independently for the child without changing the parent.
  • In the Off Rental section, the Off Rental No. and Off Rental Date are tied to the parent and will update when the parent is changed. These two fields can also be updated independently for the child without changing the parent.
  • The following fields default to the child (linked) line when added to the parent and cannot be updated independently of the parent:
    • One Way
    • Subject to Commissions
    • Enable Holiday Standdowns
    • Fully Maintained
• In the On Rental Entry window:
  • A child line can be updated independently of the parent line.

To link a rental line:

• In Rental Agreement Line Entry, select the Linked Line lookup.
• In Rental Agreement Lines, the lines from Rental Agreement Entry are displayed. Select the line and select OK.
• The linked line displays the line number that the current line is linked to.
