Item Length

In Hirepos, setting up and using item length is essential for managing fence hire and calculating the number of items required for a job. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up item length and entering the required length for a job in the Booking/Invoice screen.

To set up the length of an item in Hirepos, follow these steps:

1. From the main menu strip at the top, navigate to Setup > Items.

2. Select the item you want to edit.

3. Go to the Other tab in the item details screen.

4. Enter a numeric value in the Length field.

5. Scroll down and click Save Changes to save the item with the specified length.

Once you have set up the item length, follow these steps to enter the required length for a job:

1. In the Booking/Invoice screen, add the item to the job as usual via the Code column.

2. The Total Length Required section will appear.

3. Enter a numeric value in the length required field.

4. The Qty/Items value will be automatically calculated based on the panel length and total length required for the job.

Note: If you do not need the "Total Length Required" field to be displayed on the Booking screen, you can use the "Depth" field instead.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage item length in Hirepos and accurately calculate the number of items needed for a job. For further assistance or questions, please refer to the Hirepos documentation or contact our support team.
