We must first generate a rental order with Odoo rental module order to coordinate pick-up and return. Let’s look at how to make a rental management order and keep track of the pickup schedule. 

To use this module, first you have to install the Rental Module from the Odoo Apps. Then click on the Rental Module, now you can see the dashboard of this.

When you click on an order a new window appears with the details of the order. There is an option to edit and modify the order on the top-left. Moreover, we can create a new order directly from the dashboard or from the order details window. For reference you can see the screenshot below.

If you want to create a new order then click on the “Create button”, a new window will open and you have to fill in the details.

When we click on the create button, it will be redirected to a new page. We can enter all customer details like name, address, and such. We can also set an expiration date for the order. The payment term can be set as immediate payment or a given time scale. 

In the order lines tab, we can add the products for the quotation. Click on add a product to select from the available products.  We can also select the tax for the product from the tax options.

We must now proceed to Order Lines in order to input the product specifics. The order line can include the product name, description, quantity, unit of measure, packages, unit price, taxes, and discount %. The subtotal will be calculated automatically.

When I selected the rental product as Printer, a pop-up box appeared. Dates: From and to dates, or the rental time of the specific goods can be found here. The duration, amount, and serial numbers to be added can also be found here. The unit pricing was chosen automatically based on the price we set when the product was established. We can also discover a unit price per day underneath the unit pricing, as well as charges per extra hour and extra day. 

The product must now be added to the Order Line. We can see that the order line’s details have been automatically filled in. After adding taxes to the sum, we can calculate the entire amount on the rental activity. For reference you can see the above screenshot.

We can add optional products in the following tab. The other info tab will feed sales and delivery-related info. Once finished we can confirm and send it by email. The new order created will then be available in the dashboard. 

We may save the adjustments and then confirm the order now that all of the information has been included. 

After confirmation you can see the following image.

Now when you click on the dashboard you can see the order available which we have created above. For reference you can see the screenshot below.

We can also pick up the product. This time, though, the status is changed to Sales Orders. We can also generate an invoice, cancel the order, and sign paperwork. When we check the Rental Order page after unlocking, we see that the rental order status is confirmed.

Let’s have a look at what happens when you click the invoice. A new window has been pop-up. 

From the above screenshot you can see that there are three types of invoice you can create. So you can choose one of them and then click on the “Create and view invoice”.

Now we can confirm the pick up. Let’s see what happens when we click on the pickup button. For reference you can consider the following screenshots.

Now click on the Validate button. The status switches to Picked-up once we click to validate. For reference you can see the above screenshot.

Orders : The orders menu on the top bar has the option to sort and manage the orders and customers. We can also filter and view the pickup and return for the day from this menu.

The customer menu will give an overview of the existing customers. We can create new customers in this window. The existing customer details can be edited by selecting the customer. 

And you can also create a new customer with the help of the “Create button”.

Schedule Rental : This window will display the schedule for rentals in the current month. The customer name and order quantity are displayed on the corresponding product column. We can shift between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views. This overview will also bring to attention the conflicts in orders. 

In order to see the schedules: Go to Rental > Schedule

Elaborate Gantt chart view eliminates confusion in schedule and helps inefficient workflow of your business. Rows can be expanded and collapsed with the consecutively named buttons on the top right-hand side. In addition to filters like Quotations, Confirmed orders, To Do Today, Late one can add custom filters also.

Returns : When a rented product is returned, we can click on the return button from the sales order. This will display a pop-up with the details of the product. The return can be validated from this pop-up.
