Configure routes and locations for a renting business with the Sales App

 

This solution can be used when a company needs to rent equipment to clients but wants to keep all the products internally in the stock. 

So, the inventory valuation will reflect the reality.

We will create a virtual location “Rented out” that will be an internal location so that we keep the products internally for stock valuation purposes.


Configuration 

  1. Settings:

  • Storage locations

  • activate multi-step routes

  • Create a new location called “Rented out”

    • Location Type : Internal location

    • Parent location : WH (main warehouse)


    1. Create a new route called “Renting”

    • Make it available on Sales Order lines




    1. Create a rule within this new route. We select here a push rule that will automatically send the products from “customers” location to our “Rented out” location.





    Renting flow

    1. We have 12 cars in stock (WH/Stock)

    1. We create a SO for 1 car and select the route “Renting” on the sale order line

    2. We validate the delivery 






    => If we look at inventory valuation, there are still 12 units in stock
    => If we look at the inventory locations, the rented car is not in "customer location" but was pushed automatically in the "rented out" location.


    Return flow



    => Return products are automatically sent to the initial WH/Stock

    How about creating a second rule in the new route that triggers an internal transfer when a "car" is in the “Rented out” location and how to can I define a location time?

    For the time you could add new date fields on the sale order line, or just use the description field.

    Why you would create an internal transfer ? At the SO's confirmation, you'd have the s autock movement tomatically created thanks to the push rule and your product sitting in the right location.
