+====================
+Rental product types
+====================
+
+Odoo allows for two :ref:`product types <inventory/product_management/good-or-services>` when
+configuring a rental product: Goods or Services.
+
+*Goods*: Includes physical items. Goods are removed from the company’s stock, delivered to the
+customer, and then returned.
+
+*Services*: Includes labor, intangible good, or a physical item that never leaves the company’s
+stock, such as a hotel room, work station, or storage unit.
+
+The following sections detail basic settings and app integration configurations for goods and
+services.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. important::
+   The *Configuration* menu is only available if the **Inventory** app or **eCommerce** module is
+   installed.
+
+   - For the :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` setting, the **Inventory** app must be installed.
+   - For the :guilabel:`Unavailability days` setting, the **eCommerce** module must be installed.
+
+To configure default settings on rental products, navigate to :menuselection:`Rental app -->
+Configuration --> Settings`.
+
+.. image:: product_types/rental-settings-with-inventory-ecommerce.png
+   :alt: Settings page of the Rental app with the Inventory and eCommerce apps installed.
+
+In the *Rental* section, the :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` checkbox enables automatic creation of
+delivery and return receipts for a rental product.
+
+.. note::
+   The **Inventory** app automatically creates an internal default location once the
+   :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` feature is enabled. Odoo uses the new default location,
+   `Customer/Rental`, to track products during the rental period (moving them from Stock to
+   Customer/Rental upon rental, and back upon return). **Do not** modify this location avoid
+   corrupting inventory tracking.
+
+Next, the *Rent Online* section is available to configure. The :guilabel:`Unavailability days` limit
+what days of the week customers can book or return rental products online.
+
+Click :guilabel:`Save` to apply the changes.
+
+App integration configuration
+=============================
+
+The **Rental** app relies on additional Odoo app integrations to expand its settings and product
+configurations. The following apps are essential for workflow efficiency and automation when
+creating a product and rental order:
+
+- **Sales**: Enables online payments and signatures within the **Rental** app.
+- **Sign**: Allows uploading and customization of various rental and service agreements. These
+  documents are used to facilitate the :guilabel:`Request Signature` feature.
+- **Planning**: Integrates with the **Rental** app to automatically match service products with
+  employees or materials based on availability. This setting is configured on the product form.
+- **Project**: Enables automatic creation of a project, a task, or both when a rental quote that
+  includes the configured product is confirmed. This setting is configured on the product form.
+- **Inventory**: Enables warehouse delivery and return receipts, product tracking options, variants,
+  and product downtime.
+- **eCommerce**: Allows product configuration for the online shop. This setting is configured on the
+  product form.

+
+Search for rental products
+==========================
+
+To view all products available for rent in the database, navigate to :menuselection:`Rentals app -->
+Products`. By default, the :guilabel:`Rental` filter appears in the search bar, and the view is
+Kanban. Click the search bar and from the preset filters, select :guilabel:`Goods`,
+:guilabel:`Services`, or both. All the selected options appear as Kanban cards.
+
+For *Goods*, the card displays the name, rental rate, and amount on hand. For *Services*, the card
+displays the name, the number of variants if configured, and the rental price.
