Cancelling a Booking

Go to " Booking and Hire Add or Edit Customer Bookings".

    • You may click [Advanced] to search for bookings for a specific customer, hire item or status.
  • Select the customer booking on the list and click [Edit].
  • Press <Alt+F8> or the [Cancel booking] button.
Only customer bookings that have not had an invoice produced can be cancelled in this way.

Once the cancellation has gone through, the status will be changed to the cancel status and the hire items for the booking will be removed, freeing them up for other bookings.

You may wish to manually record the items in the [Notes] tab of the booking, prior to cancelling the booking.
  • Click [Done] and [Accept] the changes to confirm the cancellation of the booking.
