This activity is used to define rental modes. Modes are used to define the usage of a rental asset when starting a rental or entering a rental event. In addition, the mode allows you to vary the price charged for the asset by using a price factor (a percentage), where the price factor will be multiplied with the line price.
Typical examples of modes could be e.g., Transport and In Operation, where transportation of the asset may be charged at a lower rate than when in operation. Other examples could include e.g. Dirty Environment, Two Shifts or Stand-down to allow the user to increase or reduce the price based on the mode used.
When using a mode on a rental event, the Mode ID will be stored in the Rental Events History so it can be reviewed for follow-up purposes.
One of the modes is defined as the Default Mode. This default mode will be suggested when entering a rental event, but the user can select from any of the modes in the basic data. To change the default mode, right-click and then click Set as Default Mode.
