Editing CheckOut (section)

===== Rent to a customer for more then 30 days =====

* A long term (more then 30 days) contract can be set up as a rollover, allowing you to generate invoices yet keep the contract open. A contract can only be set up as a rollover upon check-out (to maintain data integrity). 

* To indicate that it is a long term contract, check the Rollover box on the Summary screen just left of the Charge Summary.

* Complete the Summary and Drivers screens.

* To define the Billing Method and Billing Cycle, click the Rollover icon.  For the Billing Cycle, if you select "1st to End of Month", the monthly rate will be charged each month, regardless of the number of days in the month.  The key is that there has to be a rate on the contract that includes a rate line with the Units field set at more than 27 days.  The Rollover logic looks at this as being the Monthly rate. If you need to prorate a partial month, create a daily rate to be 1/30th of the monthly rate.

* Note: Once a Rollover contract has been created and saved, you cannot use Contract Modify to change the Billing Method or Billing Cycle.
