Howto charge for equipment rentals?

I'm looking for ideas as to any modules that could help me satisfy these requirements: (I've been looing at Contract & service billing but still see somes gaps)

-Create Customer contract
- Enter a billing line for the equipment rental (line billing period starting on Feb 1 ending on June 30) @ 2800/month (month = 28days)
- Enter a second equipment for rental starting on (line billing period starting Feb 15 ending on July 31) @ 1400/month (month = 28 days)
- Enter a Transportation unit price/ea to bill (must be calculated based on quantity purchased from supplier on a PO)
- Enter an Installation unit price/hr to bill (must be calculated based on quantity purchased from supplier on a PO)
-Billing for contract starting on actual start date every 28days.
- Billing UBE will run nighlty but should only invoice the above billing lines once every 28days
- First invoice on Feb28 (at 28days) need to prorate the second equipment rental for Feb28 (1400$/28days in month*13days usage)=650$ by prorating the first 28day period subsequent invoices can fall into the same cycle as the first rental line.
- Transportation and Installation lines will be accumulating through POs from Feb1 but none should be billed until Feb28 the first billing day of the contract

- Billing workfile (ie Billing Amounts) must be modifiable for all billing lines types used above.

Gaps with JDE
-Bill contract every 28days from start date
-All lines must fall into the 28day cycle (services from POs CANNOT be billed as they occur)
-Only certain billing line types are modifiable in Billing Workfile.

I'm looking for ideas for workarounds or maybe I missed some existing functionality.
Thanks Sean
 
Hi Sean,

Unfortunately, JD Edwards has some limitations when trying to be used for Equipment Rentals. Equipment Billing, Service Billing, and Sales Orders all offer components, but don't really offer what most rental companies are seeking. We've developed custom solutions for a couple customers using these modules as the basis, I would suggest you consider that approach yourselves.
