Re: [SL] Rental Apartments == Parts ??

[Bob G. <bo...@rc...>]

Thanks for all your comments.

I am drawn to the idea of a one day time unit. This way, it would be
easier to have a daily report - P&L in the morning sort of thing,
without fiddling with partially expired rental periods of longer than
one day. A week rental just means an order for 7 parts - with part
numbers coding the particular date of each (future) day rental.

The P&L in the middle of that week would figure 3 or 4 sold parts and 4
or 3 on order, for delivery once a day.
