How do I record tool rental for a project?

Steps

  1. Go to Equipment › Rents › Tool rent and click New.
  2. Choose Contact, Date From:, Date To: and Project (and if you want Budget and Concept).
  3. In the Rented tools tab add each Tool: the Quantity is the days between the dates (minimum 1) and the Price Unit is its sale price.
  4. Click Action Rent: it moves to Rented and the project amounts are recalculated.
  5. When they are returned, click Action Finished.
Warning

Without dates, choosing a tool warns “Select dates to continue!”.

Changing dates or contact recalculates the quantity and price of all lines.

Site note

If the Contact is an employee's (their user), a tools delivery in their name is also created and validated.

From an Approved material request, the Tool Rent button creates the rental with its tools; tick Separate tools for one rental per tool.

The cost adds to the project as Tools rent while it is Rented or Finished.
