Backdating End Dates
Backdating end dates in Loopit allows you to finalise a booking even after the vehicle has already been returned. This ensures your records reflect the real-world hand-back date, helping you maintain accurate utilisation and billing.
You can select a drop-off date that falls either within the current billing cycle or up to 30 days prior (or back to the original start date if sooner).
When to Use Backdated End Dates
This functionality is useful when:
A customer returned a vehicle earlier than scheduled
The booking wasn’t ended in Loopit at the time of return
Operational delays or corrections require a more accurate end date
No matter the scenario, Loopit will always respect historical availability to prevent overlapping bookings.
What Happens When You Select a Past Drop-Off Date
If the date is within the current billing cycle
Loopit will calculate any unused days and give you the option to:
Issue a Credit Note for the unused portion of the current cycle, or
Proceed without crediting if charges are handled another way
If the date is before the current billing cycle
You will see a message explaining:
The invoice for the current cycle will be cancelled
Any required adjustments to earlier billing cycles should be managed manually
This ensures you retain full control over complex or multi-cycle billing changes.
