+===================
+Rental product type
+===================
+
+Odoo allows for two :doc:`../../../inventory_and_mrp/inventory/product_management/configure/type`
+when configuring a rental product: Goods or Services.
+
+A rental *Goods* product is a physical item, such as a computer, vehicle, bike, camera, or clothing.
+Goods are removed from the company’s stock, delivered to the customer, and then returned.
+
+A rental *Service* product can be labor or something non-physical, such as installation,
+photography, or a deposit. It can also be 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.
+
+Settings
+========
+
+.. important::
+   For the :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` setting, the **Inventory** app must be installed. For the
+   *Rent Online section* settings, the **eCommerce** module must be installed.
+
+To configure default settings on rental products, navigate to :menuselection:`Rental app -->
+Configuration --> Settings`.

+   :alt: A configured Setting page with the Inventory section displayed for the Rental app.
+
+In the *Pick up & Returns* section, the :guilabel:`Unavailability days` limit what days of the week
+customers can book or return rental products online.
+
+In the *Products* section, users can enable the following features: :doc:`Variants
+<../../sales/products_prices/products/variants>`, :doc:`Pricelists
+<../../sales/products_prices/prices/pricing>`, :doc:`Promotions, Loyalty & Gift Card
+<../../sales/products_prices/loyalty_discount>`, and
+:doc:`../../sales/products_prices/prices/discounts`.
+
+In the *Quotations* section, users can enable the
+:doc:`../../sales/sales_quotations/pdf_quote_builder` and
+:doc:`../../sales/sales_quotations/quote_template` features to use when creating a quotation.
+
+If the **Inventory** app is installed, the *Inventory* section is displayed. 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 to avoid
+   corrupting inventory tracking.
+
+Click :guilabel:`Save` to apply the changes.
+
+App integration configuration
+=============================
+
+The **Rental** app relies on additional Odoo app integration 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.
