Multi-location management and transfers
=======================================
Tracking the location of high-value physical products between locations is essential. The **Rental**
app helps with the *Rental Transfers* feature. Activating rental transfers means the system treats
rental movements similarly to sales, requiring a receipt and a delivery order every time a physical
product is rented or returned.
For multi-location management and rental item transfer tracking, navigate to the
:menuselection:`Rental app > Configuration > Settings` and in the :guilabel:`Rental` section, tick
the :guilabel:`Rental Transfers` checkbox.

.. note::
The **Inventory** app automatically creates an internal default location once the *Rental
Transfers* feature is enabled. Odoo uses the new default location, :guilabel:`Customer/Rental`,
to track products during the rental period (moving them from :guilabel:`Stock` to
:guilabel:`Customer/Rental` upon rental, and back upon return). Do not modify to avoid corrupting
inventory tracking.
Next, go to the :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings` and in the
:guilabel:`Warehouse` section, tick the :guilabel:`Storage Locations` checkbox. Click
:guilabel:`Save` to apply the changes.
To configure new locations, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration -->
Locations`. Click :guilabel:`New` to configure a new internal location.
On the new location page, enter the :guilabel:`Location Name` and ensure the :guilabel:`Parent
Location` field is set to :guilabel:`WH`. Click the :icon:`fa-cloud-upload` :guilabel:`Save
manually` icon near the top to save.
.. example::
A bike rental business has two store locations within the same city. Both locations allow for
pick-up and drop-off of their bikes. The company wants to track its bikes accurately at each
location.
Ensure the **Rental** and **Inventory** apps are configured by enabling :guilabel:`Rental
Transfers` in the **Rental app** and :guilabel:`Storage Locations` in the **Inventory** app.
Next, go to the :menuselection:`Inventory app > Configuration > Locations`. Create a new location
for each storefront.
