This enhancement resolves the issue of Rental rate being recalculated when an item was returned earlier than the original terms, even if the “Do not recalculate price” is checked in the Rental Status dialog box under the Rental terms. There is “% Discounted” check box added when the rental item is discounted
When the “Do not recalculate price” is checked, before entering the Date returned in Rental Status window, it will not update the rate calculated for the previous rental term entered. Moreover, the “% Discounted” checkbox in Rental Status window is automatically checked when a discount was entered in Discount column or window of the invoice.
User needs to check the “Do not recalculate price” first before updating the return date for the rate to not get updated based on the new Return date. Otherwise, the user needs to re-enter the original Return date, check the “Do not recalculate price” box before entering again the new Return date.
Business Cases
Problem:
System Five “Do not recalculate price” option in Rental Status window should keep the rental rate from updating when an item was returned earlier than the original rental term.

Solution (Workflow):
A “% Discounted” check box was added in Status window.
When the “Do not recalculate price” is checked, before entering the Date returned in Rental Status window, it will not update the rate calculated for the previous rental term entered. Moreover, the “% Discounted” checkbox in Rental Status window is automatically checked when a discount was entered in Discount column or window of the invoice.
