Handling a Temporary Stay on a "storage" Reservation

Q: We allow people to stay on their winter "storage" site at the normal daily rate.  How do we track that without stopping the storage reservation to enter a new reservation for a day or two?

A: You can use a "Guest" reservation type to make a short-term reservation on top of the Storage reservation (or any long-term reservation).  Since you probably don't want it handled the same way as a typical "Guest" (e.g. different rates), I would add a new Reservation Type for it (e.g. called "Storage stay" -- see Pick Lists for adding Reservation Types), but make the Base Type "Guest" so it can be booked on top of the normal storage reservation.  If they are charged the same daily rate as your Normal reservations, just add that new Resv Type to the list of Resv Types on those rate definitions.
