Configuration
The rental module Settings, Quotation Template, and Rental Periods are all located in the page's settings menu, as may be seen below.
1.1 Settings
Under the Settings section of the rental module, you can choose Rental or Rent online. You may find the Default Padding Time, Default Delay Costs, and Rental Transfer options under the Rental option in the settings.
An extra price for the late return may be applied using the Default Delay Cost option. The new rental seal will be charged the fee. From the product form, the manufactured goods' values can be changed. This option also allows you to activate the fee for additional hours and days. This could be the shortest time frame before this fine is applied.
- Per Hour: Assesses a late fee for every hour that passes after the return time.
- Per Day: There is a fixed penalty for every extra day that the rental time is extended.
- Apply After: it indicates how long a customer has to return an item after the deadline without being charged a delay fee.
- Product: Delay costs can be set globally (for all rental products) or per product (different fees for different objects).
Using the Default Padding Time, it is simple to add the smallest number between two rentals when the padding time is set to its default. The time spent will be regarded as the preparation period for the item before the next rental. To use stock deliveries and receipts for rental orders, turn on rental picking.
As seen in the screenshot below, Rental Transfer is an additional option accessible through the rental module's settings.
The Rental Transfer tool allows users to efficiently transport rented items between locations or warehouses. This feature may be especially useful for companies that need to move rental items between warehouses while keeping an eye on availability and inventory.
If the Rental Transfers enabled, then the order shows a smart tab named Deliveries as shown below.
While opening the Deliveries, there were 2 transfers. One is for delivering the product from stock to customer, which is in the Ready stage. And the second one is from Customer to stock.
Rent Online is the second tab under Settings, as shown in the screenshot below.
Here, you can input the minimum time of rental, how long it lasts, and which days pickups and returns are prohibited. You have access to this every day of the week. This displays the days that renters are not permitted to use. The Rent Online option's Unavailability Days option lists the days when pickup and drop-off are not feasible.
1.2 Rental Periods
You can choose a different option for Rental Periods under the Configuration menu, which includes information like name, length, and unit. The page will look just like the one seen in the screenshot that follows. By selecting the New icon and entering the necessary name, length, and unit data, you can quickly establish a new rental period and add it to an existing group.
You can easily create a new rental period by providing the name, duration, and unit, as shown below.
1.3 Quotation Template
The Rental Quotation template is a new feature in Odoo 19. To create a new quotation template, select Quotation template from the Configuration menu. This list contains all of the quotation templates used in the leasing orders, including corporate quotations and recurring plans.
On opening the creation page, there you can provide the quotation template's name in the appropriate field, as shown below.
In the "Quotation Validity" area, you may select the number of days that will be used to calculate the quotation's validity date. You can make use of the Confirmation Mail, Company, and Invoicing Journal as well. By activating the Signature option in the online confirmation box, you may quickly obtain the customer's online signature to validate the sales order. By activating the Payment box, the consumer can use online payment methods to pay for their orders. The Quote Calculator in the Odoo 19 Rental module allows businesses to quickly estimate rental prices depending on quantity, duration, and pricing rules. This feature is essential for generating accurate rental quotes prior to completing a rental order. Recurring plans streamline the automated creation of periodic quotations in Odoo 19 quotation templates, making it easier to manage subscription-based services or goods with recurring payments.
As stated in the Rental Quotation setup, this field provides a tab to add the product list. Under the Lines tab, you may add products, sections, and notes by using the Add a Product, Add a Section, and Add a Note buttons.
By using the Terms & Conditions option, you may specify the terms and conditions that apply to this quotation template.
After you have finished all the required components, the new quotation template will be immediately added to your system.
