Biscount

We have added a hire option for those outlets who hire goods out.
This is a work around until the full hire functions are avaiable in version 8 of Biscount.
If you follow our instructions then the Hire function will track your outstanding hires, the hire income and costs.
Firstly you need to enable the multiple workshop option in Biscount.
Then, when prompted, call the first workshop MAIN and the second HIRE (it must be called hire).
Now, you should add a new Brand Abbreviation for your hire units such as HX.
Add the units you want to add to the Stockfile and follow the following rules.
The brand is should be the one you chose above and the department is the same as for Sales.
The description should have the first word, as the type of the unit as this is automatically displayed in the list of hires. e.g. Chainsaw 16in per Day
The selling price is the charge you would make for a standard unit of hire
Choose the hire unit box towards the bottom of the screen, this will set the item as a non-diminishing item, which also means it has no cost and stock level.
To input a new hire choose Workshop, and then Hire, choose "New hire" input the customers details and set when the unit is due back. Now input the unit and a period of hire you can add any other products that you want to sell with hire at this time too.
You can now input any deposit and print a copy of the agreement. If you have a duplex printer then you can set an option in forms and headings, to print the hire agreement on the back. (We recommend the Canon LBP 3300 at only $330 including GST)
You can extend the hire by clicking on the due date in the hire unit display.
Repairs to Hire Units are input through the Main Workshop and charged to the Unit on completion.
Please let us know your ideas on this,
Thanks
The Biscount Team
