Recurring Pending Rentals

  • Updated:

This article will show you how to approve, deny or adjust Pending Rentals that are a part of a recurrence, or multiple pending requests that were all a part of the same transaction. Learn more about pending rentals.

 

Important Notes

  • Reservations on the same receipt and recurring reservations are associated with one transaction. Therefore, denying one rental on the receipt will deny all the reservations on the receipt.
  • Rentals that were part of the same transaction will have the same Transaction ID number in your pending rentals screen.

Instructions

Approve All Rentals on a Transaction

  1. Approve the reservation for each rental
    approve reservation
    • Note: When you approve one rental, the receipt to the customer will list all rentals related to the transaction. You may want to only send the customer receipt/permit for the first rental to reduce redundant emails.
  2. Repeat for each rental related to the transaction

 

Decline/Adjust Rentals

When you decline one reservation from a recurrence, all rentals on the receipt will be voided. If you wish to decline or adjust part some of the reservations on receipt, we recommend one of the following two options.

 

Note: As part of your workflow, it is a good idea to give the customer a call or email to clarify any reservations that were not approved and reflect the total that they owe. 

 

Option 1: Decline All Pending Rentals and Rebuild in the Permit Editor

This option will result ensure you have one permit with all the correct dates/times that is easy for the user to understand.

  2. Click Print Receipt

    • Note: This will ensure that you have all the customer information, requested times and dates, and prompt answers are readily available as you to create a facility permit.
