The "W" option selected after inquiring for a loan allows the operator to write a new loan from existing name, address and item information. This option is for those customers who frequently use the same items for loans. To write a new loan from an existing loan:
1.Inquire for the old PAID loan
2.Enter the "W" option to write a new loan
Enter the "W" and the current loan, original no. will be reset to "000000", the status will be set to "L" and the payoff amounts will be set to zero. If the loan that was inquired for had a status of "P", paid, then the item information will stay on the screen. Any other status means that the items could still be in the store, therefore the item fields are blanked. Loans that have a status of "R", may have been paid later or dropped. If they were paid later, then inquire for the later loan with the "P" option in order to keep the item information. NOTE, there is an option in store parameters that allows the operator to "KEEP" the items eventhough the loan has NOT been paid. See G. Store parameters, field 15, third item.
