Quick Time Batch in COINS Plant Control lets you enter multiple plant hire transactions in a single batch and post them all at once. Each line captures an item, contract or job, quantity, and rate details, supporting stock rated sales, asset hire, or different hire methods such as weekly, hourly, or monthly.
📌Note: Quick Time is designed for one-off charge entries, not ongoing hire dispatches, and has no off-hire date.
