Rental Items with Warehousing

When creating Rental Contracts for rental items that use warehouse locations, the steps are generally the same as using transfer orders except you create/process warehouse shipments and receipts instead of posting the Transfer Order directly. If required, warehouse picks and put-aways can be created directly from the shipments/receipts or from separate pick/put-away documents that pull in shipped/received lines.

Additionally, if the rental items are serialized, the serial numbers can be added to the transfer order, warehouse shipment, or warehouse pick (if warehousing is enabled for the item tracking).

Example – Process Rental Items on Rental Contract with Warehousing

This process uses warehouse shipments, picks, receipts, and put-aways to show the interaction between COSMO Rental and Warehouse Management, as well as adds the serial number at the pick. Invoicing is not described because there are no processing differences due to warehousing.
