Understanding the Form and Row Menu Options

You can access certain programs and functions from the Form and Row menu of the rental contract forms. You use these programs and functions to perform specific tasks for your rental contract.

The following table includes some of the functions that you can perform from the Form and Row menu of the rental contract forms:

Form/Row Menu Item

Navigation

Function

Convert Reservation

On the Work With Rental Contracts form, click Contract, Convert Reservation from the Row menu.

When you select Convert Reservation, the system:

  • Clears the reservation option in the header and detail tables so that the rental contract is no longer reserved.

  • Creates header and detail ledger records.

Close Contract
