Configuration

In the menu Sales > Products > Product Variants, on the form view of a stockable product or consumable, in the Rental tab, there is a button Create Rental Service which starts a wizard to generate the corresponding rental service.

In the menu Warehouse > Configuration > Warehouses, on the form view of the warehouse, in the Technical Information tab, you will see two additional stock locations: Rental In (stock of products to rent) and Rental Out (products currently rented). In the Warehouse Configuration tab, make sure that the option Rental Allowed is checked.

To use the module, you need to have access to the form view of sale order lines. For that, you must add your user to one of these groups:

• Manage Product Packaging
• Properties on lines

Upon module installation, all users are automatically added to the group Properties on lines.

Usage

In a sale order line (form view, not tree view), if you select a rental service, you can :

• create a new rental with a start date and an end date: when the sale order is confirmed, it will generate a delivery order and an incoming shipment.
• extend an existing rental: the incoming shipment will be postponed to the end date of the extension.

In a sale order line, if you select a product that has a corresponding rental service, you can decide to sell the rented product that the customer already has. If the sale order is confirmed, the incoming shipment will be cancelled and a new delivery order will be created with a stock move from Rental Out to Customers.
