Rental Orders

Like the sales order, while renting a product a Rental order should be created. This is often the document that carries information regarding the Customer, product, rent rate, rental period, etc.

After the creation of the rental order, one has got to save and ensure it to validate the rental process. Then, when the rented product is returned back by the customer after the expiry of the rental period, an invoice is often created from this Rental order.

​

Go to Rental > Orders > Orders

Here, we will see the rental orders in various stages of the renting process. When a rental order is made before its delivery date/time, the status is going to be shown as ‘Reserved’ as certain units of the precise product are reserved to rent.
When the status is ‘Picked up’, the merchandise is currently rented to a customer. When the status is ‘Returned’, the merchandise has been returned back by the customer after the rental period.

In order, to make a replacement rental order, click on the ‘Create’ button present on the highest left corner of the window. Now a window just like the one given below will appear.
