12 Working With Rental Item Workbench

This chapter discusses these topics:

12.1 Understanding Rental Item Workbench (P54R42)

The Rental Item Workbench program (P54R42) provides you quick and easy access to item quantity and item status, and to contracts associated with the rental item. You can review this information to analyze item availability and item status for planning purposes. The workbench includes only those rental items that exist in the Rental Item table (F54R41T).

The Rental Item Workbench program (P54R42) includes columns from the Item Location File table (F41021) and the Rental Item table (F54R41T). The workbench also contains the Rental Contract subform, which includes columns from the Rental Contract Header table (F54R10) and Rental Contract Detail table (F54R11).

You can filter rental items based on items available for rent, items that are rented, or all items from the F54R41T table. The quantity of a non-serialized item can be more than one. Therefore, the system can display a mix of rented and available items for a non-serialized item.

From the workbench, you can access the Item Master program (P4101) and the Rental Item Details program (P54R41). You can also access the Purchase Orders program (P4310), the Sales Order Entry program (P4210), and the Supply and Demand Inquiry program (P4021).


Note:

You can use the workbench for inquiry only.
