Creating a rental order - An overview

Create rental order - A summary of the activity

This page enables you to create a rental order. A rental order is created to lease or rent a part, normally a component, to help the customer overcome a short-term requirement of the component.

Rental Order Details

You can select the numbering type based on which the rental order will be created. You can enter details such as rental order date, customer code, order currency, priority, aircraft registration number in case of “AOG” priority, user status and rental order category.

Copying details from existing Rental Orders

You can create a rental order by copying details from rental orders that are already defined in the system. You can copy all or specific details from the existing rental order.

Customer Information

You can furnish details of the customer to whom the part is rented. You can enter details such as name of the contact person, phone number, fax number, e-mail address and the postal address of the contact person.

Part Information

You can specify the number of parts that would be rented. If the part is serial-controlled or lot-controlled, you must specify the quantity as “1”.

Reference Document Details

A lease agreement can serve as the reference document for a rental order. Both parties that wish to establish a lending relationship sign a lease agreement. Rental charges are agreed upon, along with commercial and shipping terms. You can enter the agreement number, offer number and reference document number in this page.

Lease Information

You can specify the details regarding the lease applicable for the rental order. You can specify whether the lease charges will be based on usage of the component (by tracking the parameter values) or based on the calendar period of the lease, or both. You can also indicate whether penalty is applicable, if the part is used beyond the lease effective period.

Calendar based lease charges information

You can specify the period (days/weeks/months/years) for which the lease is effective. You can specify the policy by which the lease charges will be calculated: Flat rate or Percentage of Rental Price. In addition to this, you can divide the lease period into small units so as to calculate lease charges on period or cumulative basis.

You can specify the period range and the corresponding flat rate or the percentage of rental price per day/week/month/year. The lease charges will be calculated for every period defined and summed if the basis is specified as “Period”. The lease charge for the applicable range alone will be summed if the basis is “Cumulative”.

Parameter based lease charges information

You can specify the period and range of parameter values for which the lease is effective. You can identify the policy by which the lease charges will be calculated: Flat rate or Percentage of Rental Price. You can define different ranges of parameter values to calculate lease charges on period or cumulative basis. The lease charges will be calculated for every parameter range defined and summed if the basis is specified as “Period”. The lease charge for the applicable range alone will be summed if the basis is “Cumulative”.

Rental Charges = Lease Charges + Administrative Charges = $5,760 + $500 =  $6,260

When the “Lease Charges On” is set to “None”, then no lease charges will be available.  Based on the administrative charges, Rental Charges are calculated.

Order Value details

You are allowed to enter the base price if base price entry is allowed in “Set Options” activity. You can edit the mark up factor that is used to arrive at the rental price, if editing of markup factor is allowed in “Set Options”. Other details such as administrative charges amount or administrative charges percent can be entered. Based on the values entered, the system calculates the rental price, lease charges, rental charges and total rental value.
