Re: [IUG] Renewals for a booked item

Alan:

We have just been going through some of this as we continue to work 
through the set up our booking system.

1. Did you apply a "Wanted from" time to the original booking? Bookings 
that don't have a wanted from time will be set by the system to begin at 
04:00. If your one day renewal would permit the item to be returned 
after 04:00 (which is likely), there will be a conflict.

2. If you have default lead and lag times set up, the system sets off 
that amount of time before and after the booking during which the item 
is unavailable.
