Same customer renting items with varying dates.

We are sometimes asked if BRM can handle this type of scenario:

Customer is in town for 2 weeks and wants to rent the following:

• 4 family bikes for full 2 weeks
• 1 road bike for the second week
• 1 day on a jet-ski during second week

Yes, BRM can handle it, and you do it by making 3 rental tickets, and tying them together with a 'group tag'
here is what that might look like in BRM, when you search :




Sometimes people ask if we can make the same rental ticket have different dates, but we don't currently support this.  Mainly because it would introduce a lot more complexity for not much gain, and here is why:

What is a reservation anyway?

• rental item(s)
• date range
• customer

So, using our mechanism above you get:

• simplicity of making reservations - choose product, choose dates, make reservation (imagine how complicated the booking process would be otherwise!)
• tying them together for reference
• sharing the client record - so each reservation SHARES the same client record, meaning no re-typing is required.
