Returns Direct to Maintenance
Assets found faulty or damaged while on-site can be entered into maintenance before being returned to the booking. Once the asset is returned, the maintenance record will be activated, showing the asset as unavailable for the duration of the maintenance period. Maintenance crew may run the 'Returns Direct to Maintenance' report to show assets they should expect to receive for maintenance once a given booking is returned.
First ensure Barcode Parameter 42 is set to ‘No’ indicating that you are allowing a maintenance record to be entered for an asset while it is still physically out of the warehouse on a booking.
NOTE! if Barcode #42 is set to YES, then the asset will be returned from the booking when it is scanned to maintenance, and will immediately become unavailable for the duration of the maintenance period.
Then while the asset is still checked out to the booking…..
Enter a maintenance record for the asset via the products menu (see full details in help option above if needed)
The maintenance entry form will indicate that this is a ‘Return direct to maintenance’ pending return from the booking it is out on.
Since the maintenance record is not active (pending return of asset), you won’t see the asset on the maintenance grid. You’ll need to run the ‘Report - Returns direct to maintenance’ report to see any pending maintenance records.
When returning the asset, you can modify the maintenance record by clicking the ‘Damaged’ button OR just check it in as normal ….
Once the asset is returned to the warehouse, RentalPoint will automatically activate the maintenance record.

'History' Current Maintenance Records Returned to Service
The query below shows all maintenance records returned to service before Jan 1 2020
select * from tblmaint
where returnDate > CAST('1980-01-01' as datetime) and
returnDate < CAST('2020-01-01' as datetime) and
ISNULL(bIsHistoryItem,0) = 0
The update query below will UPDATE all maintenance records that were returned to service before Jan 1 2020 to history items. This will remove those records from the running balance.
**** Take a backup of your database before running this query ****
update tblmaint
set bIsHistoryItem = 1
where returnDate > CAST('1980-01-01' as datetime) and
returnDate < CAST('2020-01-01' as datetime) and ISNULL(bIsHistoryItem,0) = 0
