The situation have a lot of the particular details and questions before write some code. For example, how do you take or obtains the product for rent? Is a single or compose?
Do you need to know the rent unit, weeks, months, years

We have simulated the rental control using standard v5.15, each month the salesman write the sale order, the sale products are stock control type, that mean that we need to recieve the same quantity from customer using a entry guide in stock manager
Example
1. Rent product is a rental_pos
2. rental_pos is. a POS + PinPad + codebar reader
3. All product are in stock control
4. Sale order of rental_pos reduce the components stocks and growth rental_pos.( Manufacture module)
5. The invoice produce the stocks movements stock->client
6. The recieve guide cause the inverse effect in stock.
7. The accounts effect depending on the accounts defined in products

Well is a bit little help i hope.

Thanks for your answer. Here is what is currently working in the module:

- Created a new Rent Order object (different from the Sale Order)	

- In the header, you can choose the duration, which is global to all the rent order.

- Rent prices are defined in products, using the 'Minimal rent unity'. For example, if you rent things by days, months, or year, prices are defined in days. - You can choose the invoice interval: Only once invoice, Daily, Monthly, etc, as you want (you can extend this in code easily). - When the rent order is confirmed, you generate invoices accordingly : if you rent products for 3 months, with a monthly invoicing, 3 invocies are generated. - You can add product which are invoiced only once, for example, 'Configuration of the rented products', which will be invoiced once in the first invoice. These products must be of type 'Service'.

What I plan to add, from what everybody answered to this mail (and on irc) :

- On order confirmation, create 2 stock picking: One for Stock- >Client and an other for Client->Stock (with a effective date at the end of the order). To do this, I will add a field 'Renting Location' in the partner view, to let the user create a per-partner location if he wants. This way, it's possible to excactly know which products is at the customer place.
	


Does that look ok?


Yes look ok for me, except the invoice generation, in some countries, can not create futures invoices due to regulator authority and their sequence control monthly. Can be incorporated in periodical process in account module, "entries for invoiced" or something liked.

PD. i am an advanced user mainly i know the funtionality of Openerp, no technical.
