F8-Change Bor Yes/No: This will change the bor from yes to no and vice versa.
F9-Change Rental/Retail: This will change the item from rental to retail inventory and vice versa.
F11-Maintenance: This will allow you to change most detail items of the inventory, if the inventory is stock you can also change the model and serial #.
F12-Switchout: This will allow you to change model and serial # on a piece even if it is sold or rented. This would mainly be used for instances when a piece of inventory is returned to a supplier and replaced with another. DO NOT USE THIS TO SWITCHOUT INVENTORY WHEN YOU WANT THE OLD PIECE TO REMAIN IN YOUR RECORDS. THIS PROCEDURE WILL DELETE THE OLD RECORD. When you are switching out a piece of inventory with a customer and the old piece is returning to stock use SWITCHOUT / MAINTENANCE under POINT OF SALE.
"Verify Service Status" function can be accessed from the Function Keys menu list from Inventory Inquiry and Maintenance, by clicking on it or by pushing Alt-F then clicking on Verify Service Status. This will verify the service status of an inventory item. If it is not found in the service database the service status will be changed to not in service.
L.O.C. Dep. Per: This is only used for Term of Lease and Modified Term of Lease depreciation types (Types 1 and 2). It is ignored for all other depreciation types.
Rental Rates grid: The rental rates grid (pictured below) allows you to enter the # of payments and the payment amounts that you wish to rent this item out for. Note this is only to be used when you wish to use individual pricing instead of category markup to determine payment amounts on this item. If this is left blank pricing will default to pricing by Category Markup method.
Always start with the shortest term and then longer terms (# of payments) as you work down. You can list up to 6 different terms for monthly and weekly payments. For more info on how pricing works in RTO Pro see the "Pricing Setup" help topic in the RTO Pro help file.
