Understanding Rental Contract Entry

A rental contract includes two types of information:

1. Header information: This information relates to the entire rental contract, and consists of customer numbers, contract dates, reservation, delivery, and invoice information. The system retrieves delivery and certain invoice information from the Customer Master By Line Business table (F03012). The system maintains the header information in the Rental Contract Header table (F54R10).

2. Detail information: This information primarily relates to individual lines and items that are included in a rental contract. The detail line includes data that the system retrieves from the header, the Item Master table (F4101), and the Item Branch File table (F4102). You can use the Define Header Columns to Detail program (P54RHDR) to copy updates you make to the header fields back to the corresponding detail fields.

You must first enter the mandatory header information successfully, to get to the detail form. The system displays a message asking you to review the header data before proceeding to the detail form. You must click the OK button twice in the header form to get to the detail form.
