(Total Rental™ users only)
Use the following procedure to import a rental contract into Epicor Eagle™ POS for Windows. As a result of the import process, the rental deposit automatically posts in POS. If you use Epicor's General Ledger passoff, your Deposits liability account will be credited accordingly.
Important: The interface is one-way only— from Total Rental™ to POS. Thus, if for any reason you decide to void the rental contract in POS, you must void it in Total Rental™ as well.
Note that this procedure assumes you are already familiar with creating a rental contract in the Total Rental™ application.
Verify that the Epicor Eagle POS window is currently open. If it is not, start POS.
Note: Total Rental™ checks to see that POS is running. If for some reason POS is not running, it will alert you to this condition, and allow you to complete the transaction anyway. However, if you proceed, the transaction you create in Total Rental™ must be manually posted into POS.
Create a rental contract in the Total Rental™ application. Note that sales items can be posted to the contract while still in Total Rental™.
Once you've completed the contract in Total Rental™, a copy prints to the laser printer you defined as the one that prints contracts.
At this point, Epicor Eagle™ POS for Windows automatically displays.
Depending on how POS is configured, you may be prompted to acknowledge an account message before the transaction displays in POS. If the PO number and/or authorized signer were entered in the rental contract, they are filled in automatically in the POS transaction.
The transaction displays with the rental items posted, as well as any sales items you may have added to the transaction while still in Total Rental™. At a minimum, importing from Total Rental™ posts in POS a deposit SKU with the amount of the deposit.
Do one of the following:
Complete the transaction and collect the amount due.
If you want to suspend the transaction so that the money can be collected at a different station, press TOTAL, and then click Suspend.
The cashier retrieves the transaction by clicking Menu, and then selecting A (Recall Suspended Transactions). A window displays in which he/she simply selects the appropriate suspended transaction, and then completes it.
If you want to return to the Total Rental™ application, press <ALT><TAB> and select the Total Rental icon.
