Quantities on Lost & Damage Fees

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • June 01, 2026

Hi there,

Lost and damage fees can now carry a quantity, so charging for multiple missing or damaged items is fast and accurate.

What's New:

• Lost/damage fees now include a Quantity field (minimum 1)

• The fee total is multiplied by the quantity instead of assuming a single unit

• Returnable quantities on the return screen now total correctly for grouped items

How to Use It:

• On an order's Return screen, add a lost or damage fee

• Enter the quantity along with the per-unit amount — the total calculates automatically

Benefits:

• Accurate charges when several units are lost or damaged

• No more adding the same fee multiple times by hand

Sub Rental Prices for Inventory

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • June 01, 2026

Hi there,

When you add overbooked items to a subrental, the price now fills in automatically from the item's configured subrental price — no more typing it in by hand.

What's New:

• Sub Rental Price on inventory items

• Adding an item to a subrental from the overbooks / availability view now pre-fills the product's subrental price

• Purchase orders still start blank, so the two flows stay distinct

How to Use It:

• First add Sub Rental pricing to your inventory products

• From an order's overbooks / availability view, choose Add to Subrental for a short item

• The price field is pre-filled — adjust it if needed and save

Benefits:

• Faster subrental entry with fewer manual price lookups

• More consistent subrental pricing across your team

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • June 01, 2026

Hi there,

If you hide set details on your printed quotes and orders, you can now still show the individual items inside that set that carry their own price.

What's New:

• A new set option, Print items that are charged with separate price, appears when Do not show set details on quotes/orders prints is enabled

• Separately-priced items inside an otherwise-hidden set will now appear on the printed quote or order

How to Use It:

• Go to Inventory → Sets and open or create a set

• Check Do not show set details on quotes/orders prints, then enable Print items that are charged with separate price

• Save — the printed quote/order now lists those priced items

Benefits:

• Keep set contents tidy on prints while still itemizing what the client is paying for

• Clearer, more transparent quotes and orders for your customers

Order Cloning Improvements

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • June 01, 2026

Hi there,

Cloning a quote or order is now cleaner: stale dates no longer carry over, services clone correctly, and every clone is linked back to the order it came from.

What's New:

• When you clone, the Deposit Due Date and Quote Expiration Date now start fresh instead of inheriting the original order's old dates

• Cloned services are created as new records, fixing a bug where they could conflict with the original

• The new order's activity log records that it was cloned, with a clickable link back to the parent quote or order

How to Use It:

• Use the Clone action on any quote or order as you normally would

• Review the deposit due and expiration dates on the new order and set them fresh

Benefits:

• No more back-dated deposit or expiration dates on cloned orders

• Clear traceability from a clone back to its source

Files in Emails Linked in Order Files

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • June 01, 2026

Hi there,

Files attached to CRM emails are now automatically copied to the linked order's file storage — keeping all relevant documents in one place without any extra steps.

What's New:

- When sending a CRM email with file attachments, those files are automatically saved to the linked order in Rentopian

- Image thumbnails are generated automatically for easy preview

- No manual file uploading required — it happens in the background when the email is sent

How It Works:

- Send a CRM email as usual and attach any files you want to include

- The files are sent to the client and simultaneously saved to the order's Attachments tab

- Your team can access them from the order at any time

Benefits:

- All client-facing documents live on the order — no hunting through email threads

- Better documentation trail for each order's communication history

- Saves time by eliminating duplicate file uploads

Transaction History Detail Tracking

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • May 29, 2026

Hi there,

We've made a BIG update to the way changes to transactions are tracked in Rentopian!

Now, when looking at the Activity History of an order, in addition to seeing a printed version of the order at the time of the update you can also see a clear breakdown of the exact changes and have the option to Restore Version of any previous version of a transaction.

To see the breakdown of specific changes, you can click on the Show Changes button:

That opens up a list that show the details of what was changed in the update of the order:

When viewing previous versions of the transaction, you have the option to Restore Version for any previous versions of the transaction:

When you restore a previous version, the Activity History will clearly reflect that the order was restored to a previous state by listing Restored from earlier version and listing the edit version it was restored from:

If you have any questions about this update, please reach out to our team through [email protected] or through your chat function.

Mark Inventory with Unlimited Stock

Jessica avatar
Shared by Jessica • May 13, 2026

Hi there,

Some items in your inventory don't have a finite stock — and now you can tell the system that. Items marked as Unlimited Quantity are excluded from availability calculations, so they'll never block an order from being placed.

What's New:

- A new Unlimited Quantity checkbox is available on inventory items

- Items with this enabled are excluded from availability calculations

- They won't show as unavailable or conflict with other orders, regardless of how many times they're booked

How to Use It:

- Go to Inventory and open the item you want to update

- Check the Unlimited Quantity option and save

- The item will no longer be factored into availability checks going forward

Benefits:

- Perfect for consumables, services, or items you always have in stock

- Eliminates false availability conflicts for items that don't need tracking

- Simplifies inventory management for items where quantity isn't a constraint

If you have any questions, please reach out to our team through the chat or by emailing [email protected].

Shared by Jessica • May 13, 2026

- Consistent document quality even when using temporary or placeholder products
