Purpose
The Vehicle Activity Report displays all scheduled pickups
and drop-offs for a selected location and date range. Included in the report
is the reservation number, date, time, vehicle category, registration number, customer,
colour, any items supplied and arrival or departure details.
From the report, you can update the reservation and
change the status to Hired or Returned thereby checking out or checking in the
vehicle directly from the report. When you have finished the check out or check
in process the activity report will automatically refresh and display only the
remaining pickups and drop-offs. This is the most efficient screen to process
scheduled pickups and drop-offs from.
You may also change the renting customer for a booking
which is not yet Hired, and view the notes attached to each pickup or drop off.
For unallocated bookings, you can also allocate a vehicle directly from this
report.
Accessing the Report
You can access this report by following the steps, Reports > Daily
