Rentopian Rental Software News Center

Hi there,

We’ve identified and resolved a minor discrepancy in how Rentopian handles rounding for line item to calculate totals. In certain cases, this was causing a minor difference (around $0.01 or more) between individual line items and the overall invoice total.

To address this, we’re updating the calculation logic to ensure greater consistency and accuracy.

This change will go into effect on Tuesday, September 9.

What to Expect:

• The update will not affect closed transactions.
• It will apply to any existing transactions that are edited after the update.
• Invoices may reflect a very slight increase or decrease—typically no more than a cent—due to improved rounding precision.
• If needed, fees (positive or negative) should be added to adjust the totals to match previous amounts. Check out our Knowledge Base guide on this for instructions.

If you have any questions or would like help making adjustments, our team is here to support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi there,

When managing an Add-On Only product, you now have the option to mark it as Only one per transaction. This was designed to help with products that need to be included in a transaction but you don't need more than one (like a hand trolly or ladder).

If you have any questions about creating add-on only products or marking them only one per transaction, please reach out to our team.

Hi there,

We added a feature to your Transactions List to allow you to save your filter combinations to your Quick Filters list.

Once you select your filters, you'll click the new Save As Preset button in the bottom right of your filter options. Then you'll get a popup where you can give the filter combination a name of your choosing. Once you give a name and click the green Save button, it will be added to your list of Quick Filters above your filters drop down. When clicked, your quick filters will automatically select your filters.
