The exchange of packaging-material sometimes requires the payment of rent to the party that owns the packaging material from the party receiving the packaging. RPM supports the calculation of these rental-costs in the app 'View Rental Reports'. The necessary data for the calculation is taken from different objects:
- Returnable Packaging Account: By the ownership the flow of the exchange (receive partner-owned, rent out self-owned) is defined. Pricing elements supported by RPM are: daily rent-charge, percentage discount on daily rent-charge, validity-period of rental payment, rent-free calendar-days, delivery-charge per delivery/material, return-charge per delivery/material
- Returnable Materials: rental calculation separately for each serial-number of collectively for the account
- Returnable Postings: Relevant data from the posting is used for rental calculation as delivery-number, packaging-material, quantity, date of posting, plant, supplier/customer, serial-numbers.
