Configuration

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

In the menu Inventory > Configuration > Warehouse Management > 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.

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.

Known issues / Roadmap

This module has the following limitations:

• No support for planning/agenda of the rented products (i.e. you can’t rely on this module to check your capacity to rent a product for the selected dates when you create a quote)
• The unit of measure of the rental services must be Day (the rental per hour / per week / per month is not supported for the moment)
