+====================
+Rental product types
+====================
+
+Odoo allows for two product types 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.
+
+Setting
+=======
+
+.. 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`.
+
+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.
+
+If the **eCommerce** module is installed, 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 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 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.
+- 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 Rentals app ‣ Products. By
+default, the Rental filter appears in the search bar, and the view is Kanban. Click the search bar
+and from the preset filters, select Goods, 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.
