The Rentals module is an additional module that allows you to reserve, rent, accept returns and manage bookings of inventory with pricing based on time period and date period (weekday vs. weekend or summer vs winter). This module interacts with the inventory, customers, point of sale (invoice), units and account receivable modules. This topic summarizes the module's features, menu commands, windows and dialog boxes and links you to the rental features and processes including setup and administrative functions.
You do not need to enable the module as you must be licensed for it and the module is enabled with the installation of your license codes. However there is a considerable amount of configuration required (see Rental - setup and configuration for information).

If the items are returned early or late, the clerk is given the option for refund or adding charges at that time.
