Booking workflow

Applies to version 26.99.5

A rental moves from a plan to active use to returned — with availability checked so you never double-book.

The booking lifecycle

1
Plan
Reserve the item for a start (and optional end) date and quantity. Availability is checked against existing bookings.
2
Issue
Hand it over — the rental becomes active and the issue time is stamped.
3
Return
Record the return (partial quantities allowed for bulk) and the condition.
PlannedActiveOverdueReturned
Overdue rentals
An open rental past its end date is marked overdue and keeps accruing — the charge is computed up to "now" until you record the return.
Tip
Open-ended rentals (no end date) show as running up to today in the calendar and accrual — no far-future placeholder date.
