This document provides a comprehensive guide on how to handle different types of reminders, understand reasons for overdue reminders, and take necessary actions to resolve them.

Common Overdue Reminders

Quote

When a Quote has not been converted or cancelled and the Booked From date is older than the current date/time, there are multiple options:

  • If not accepted, cancel the Quote.

  • If accepted, verify the accuracy of the Booked From date.

  • If the Quote is On Hire, update the Hired From date to reflect the actual hire start date.

Booking

Bookings will display in the OVERDUE section once their Booked From date is older than the current date/time.
For overdue Bookings, ensure the Hired From date is populated once the booking has started and is On Hire. Once this is done the reminder will switch to being On Hire.

Invoice

Invoices will display in the OVERDUE section once their Booked From date is older than the current date/time.
Similar to Bookings, once you've populated the Hired From date for overdue Invoices that are On Hire, their corresponding reminder will switch to On Hire.

Overdue Return

On Hire Invoices will display in the OVERDUE section once their Booked To date is older than the current date/time.
When goods are returned after the hire period, update the Hire To date on the Invoice to clear the reminder.

Overdue Deposit

Overdue Deposits will display if a Booking's Deposit Due date field has been specified and no money has been received by this date.
To remove this reminder, take action to collect the deposit or clear out the booking's Deposit Due date, which is located in the Other tab in the Booking/Invoice screen.
