Subhires are a process whereby equipment is temporarily received from another company, thus temporarily increasing your stock availability. Subhires work exactly like an equipment list, except they add to your availability for a time period, instead of subtracting from your availability. If you own 30 speakers and you have orders for 40 speakers from July 2 to July 10 you will be short 10 speakers during that time period. If you subhired or cross-rented 15 speakers from July 1 to July 11, then HireTrack would show you actually have a surplus of 5 speakers. Subhires must be longer than the equipment list for which they are covering.
Subhires may be created from the Hire Book or from the Job Book, and like an equipment list they must be associated with a job. Click here to learn how to create a subhire from the Hire Book.
To create a subhire from the Job Book, Click the New Subhire button: 
The first step in the process is to select the vendor from which you will subhire the equipment. Select the name from the drop down window and select using the Smart find window. Edit any address information as needed and edit the title if you wish. The Due In and Back dates determine the dates the equipment will be added to your availability, and when it will be returned and no longer affect availability. In the same way the status affects an equipment list, so the status of a subhire determines the availability of your equipment. Enter any notes as needed in the notes box
, and check whether the subhire is to be picked up or returned by your company.
Select the equipment you wish to use by clicking your mouse in the description field. This will activate the popstock window to select which type of equipment you wish to subhire. To more easily view which equipment is required, select the "Shortages Only" checkbox in the popstock window.
If needed, Enter a price for each piece of equipment and the subhire will be totaled.
