Hello,

I’m planning to use Odoo for managing my camera rental business, and I’d like to implement the following pricing rules:

1. Clients must pay the total rental fee and a security deposit before receiving the rented product.
2. Upon returning the product within the rental period, the client will receive a full refund of their security deposit.
3. If the return is overdue, an additional cost for late returns will be deducted from the security deposit.

For example:

1. 1. Sony FX3 Value: 3800 USD
   2. Rental fee per day: 38 USD
   3. Security deposit: 800 USD

​3 Days rent = (38 x 3) + 800, ​Invoiced = 914 USD

​When returned, 800 USD will be transferred back to client

​If overdue for 2 day, 800 - (38 x 2) = 724 will be transferred back to client

I need assistance with the following:

• How can I set up security deposits for each client in Odoo?
• What is the best way to record and track security deposit transactions in the system?
• How can I configure Odoo to calculate and deduct overdue charges from the security deposit automatically?
• What workflows or apps would you recommend for this use case?

Thank you for your guidance!

Best regards,

Toey
