The Pending Rentals module is a dedicated view for rentals pending admin approval. This article will show you how to view and approve/deny pending reservations. 

Important Notes

• Administrators making reservations (public or internal) do not need to be declined or approved under the pending rentals section of the facilities module.
• The balance is put on the account at the end of the reservation, but no permit is generated until after the reservation is approved for public users or non-admin staff.
• Once the rental is approved the balance stays, the permit is generated, the calendar is reserved, and the customer can pay the balance due.
• Once the rental is declined - the balance is removed, the transaction is removed, and the calendar is cleared.
• If a request is part of a recurring reservation, when one reservation is declined then all reservations will be declined. Once the reservation is adjusted, add a note in the notes section that it has been declined. You will then need to delete the declined reservations from the calendar
