Rental price computing¶
Odoo always uses two rules to compute the price of a product when a rental order is created:
Only one price line is used.
The cheapest line is selected.
Exercise
Consider the following rental pricing configuration for a product:
1 day: $100
3 days: $250
1 week: $500
A customer wants to rent this product for eight days. What price will they pay?
After an order is created, Odoo selects the second line as this is the cheapest option. The customer has to pay three times ‘3 days’ to cover the rental’s eight days, for a total of $750.
