Status of CONFIRMED

An equipment unit of the specified pool vehicle type is available at the dispatch location on the date and time required until the date and time of expected return for the reservation (refer to the Status/Other Info tab). See Rules of motor pool availability.

You can:

Insert or delete reservations with this status.
Update reservations with this status without changing the status.
Update reservations with this status by changing the status to DISPATCHED, STANDBY (if a change in data prohibits processing a reservation with an unchanged status of CONFIRMED), REFUSED (if a change in data prohibits processing a reservation with an unchanged status of CONFIRMED), or NO-SHOW.

When you insert or update a reservation with a status of CONFIRMED and there is a check (ü) in the Print motor pool confirmation tickets field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Departments -> Primary Information screen, a confirmation ticket is printed using the printer designated in the Printer ID field specified on the Output Control tab. If the Message Printers tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Departments -> Primary Information screen specifies one or more printer IDs for the reservation's accounting department ID (specified on the Accounting Info tab) a message about the confirmation ticket is sent to those printers.

Whenever you delete a reservation with the status of CONFIRMED, reservations for the same pool vehicle type at the return location that have a status of STANDBY are examined. The action that is taken depends on the value in the Minimum hours in future of date and time required to qualify for automatic upgrade standby to confirmed field on the Motor Pool tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen.

Zero (0): The reservation status of the earliest booked reservation for which a unit is now available on the date and time required until the date and time of expected return is automatically updated to a status of CONFIRMED.
Greater than zero (0): The reservation status is automatically updated only if the Date and time required on the Status/Other Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Activity -> Motor Pool -> Motor Pool Center screen exceeds the current date and time by the specified number of hours.

During end-of-day processing on the System Mgmt -> End-of-Period screen, reservations with a CONFIRMED status are examined. If the date and time of expected return has passed, a reservation's status automatically changes to NO-SHOW, and NO-SHOW charges are applied.

A reservation with the status CONFIRMED does not have an equipment unit assigned to it.
