The Rental Link Management DataGrid allows you to add, update, delete, or clone an existing "extra" item that is linked to the current rental item.
The items linked through Rental Link Management are "extras" that come with rental at no charge. These items are NOT set up as separate rental items in Rental Item File Maintenance. They only exist in your database as linked to the Rental Item with which you are working. These linked items may be displayed during the rental reservations process and may be printed on the rental reservations, check out and return receipts to serve as reminders as to what extra items are included with the rental item.
For Example: You have the rental item "TRACQUET" (tennis racquet). Tennis racquets automatically come with a cover, a bag and a supply of grip tape. You would set up the racquet in Rental Item File Maintenance. You would link the cover, the bag, and the grip tape to the "TRACQUET." These "extra" linked items are not set up as rental items in your database, because they are never rented alone. However, when the racquet is returned, you want the cover and bag that went with it, along with any grip tape that was not used.
