Automatic Status Code Update By Product


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> Operations Tab -> Inventory -> Product Status Codes -> UPDATE button -> By Product option -> Automatic Status Code Update By Product

This option can be used to list the non-bulk rental products for which the product status code should be changed when the equipment is returned on Rental Return or when the pickup ticket is closed in Close Pickup Ticket or exchanged on Exchange by Contract, Exchanges By Customer, or Confirm Exchange Pickup.

The Status Code update action can be set by individual product, to either occur automatically or to force the operator to Verify the update.

Settings in the Divisional Return Parameters control and activate the processing for the Rental Return and Exchanges, including the Stop Auto Status Change For No Rent flag that can be set to prevent the product Status Code from being updated in Rental Return, and Exchange by Contract when the non-bulk rental product has a current status that does 'not allow rental'.

A setting in the Divisional Delivery/Pickup Parameters controls and activates the processing for the Pickup Tickets.
If the product status code is updated when the Pickup ticket is closed, the clerk will NOT be prompted again for the product status code at the Rental Return.

Product groups can also be designated using Auto Status Code Update By Group.

PROMPT
Uncheck this box if the product Status Code should be updated automatically without prompting the operator to confirm or verify the change in code.
This applies to status code changes in Rental Return, Exchange by Contract, Exchanges By Customer, and Confirm Exchange Pickup.

Check this box if the change to the product Status Code must be verified by the operator in Rental Return, Exchange by Contract, Exchanges By Customer, or Confirm Exchange Pickup.
A screen will display the Old Code and the New Code. The operator can accept the new code, select another code, or reject the code change, as outlined in Updating Product Status Codes.

Note: When the product Status Code is updated in Rental Returns, Exchange by Contract, Exchanges By Customer, Confirm Exchange Pickup, Close Pickup Ticket, Work Orders, or Close Internal Work Orders, only codes with the same "Allow Depreciation" flag can be substituted for the current product status code. This restriction helps maintain a consistent depreciation flag status for each product.


CODE
Enter the new code to be assigned to this product when it is returned or exchanged, or select one from the Product Status Codes Search window.

Note: This is not necessarily the current status of the product.
