Multi-location management and transfers
226+
=======================================
227+
228+
Tracking the location of high-value physical products between locations is essential. The **Rental**
229+
app helps with the *Rental Transfers* feature. Activating rental transfers means the system treats
230+
rental movements similarly to sales, requiring a receipt and a delivery order every time a physical
231+
product is rented or returned.
232+
233+
For multi-location management and rental item transfer tracking, navigate to the
234+
:menuselection:`Rental app > Configuration > Settings` and in the :guilabel:`Rental` section, tick
235+
the :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` checkbox.
236+
237+
.. image:: products/rental-transfers-checkbox.png
238+
:alt: Sample of the Rental settings with the Rental Transfers enabled.
239+
240+
.. note::
241+
The **Inventory** app automatically creates an internal default location once the *Rental
242+
Transfers* feature is enabled. Odoo uses the new default location, :guilabel:`Customer/Rental`,
243+
to track products during the rental period (moving them from :guilabel:`Stock` to
244+
:guilabel:`Customer/Rental` upon rental, and back upon return). Do not modify to avoid corrupting
245+
inventory tracking.
246+
247+
Next, go to the :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings` and in the
248+
:guilabel:`Warehouse` section, tick the :guilabel:`Storage Locations` checkbox. Click
249+
:guilabel:`Save` to apply the changes.
250+
251+
To configure new locations, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration -->
252+
Locations`. Click :guilabel:`New` to configure a new internal location.
253+
254+
On the new location page, enter the :guilabel:`Location Name` and ensure the :guilabel:`Parent
255+
Location` field is set to :guilabel:`WH`. Click the :icon:`fa-cloud-upload` :guilabel:`Save
256+
manually` icon near the top to save.
257+
258+
.. example::
259+
A bike rental business has two store locations within the same city. Both locations allow for
260+
pick-up and drop-off of their bikes. The company wants to track its bikes accurately at each
261+
location.
262+
263+
Ensure the **Rental** and **Inventory** apps are configured by enabling :guilabel:`Rental
264+
Transfers` in the **Rental app** and :guilabel:`Storage Locations` in the **Inventory** app.
265+
266+
Next, go to the :menuselection:`Inventory app > Configuration > Locations`. Create a new location
267+
for each storefront.
