Hi Chris, i have read your and davids discussion on this subject. Inventory for rental items is currently organized on the fixed asset where the number of rental items available can be maintained on a date level together with a maximum per time period.
You want to connect this with the inventory of products and be able to order products when there are not enough fixed assets to rent. The problem here is the availability by date. This is only done on the fixed asset level but not in the product inventory. Is perhaps the movement between inventory items and fixed assets an option? That means some items are for rental (= fixed asset) and same are for sale (inventory) You could also consider when a rental request is made and there are no rental items available, that a 'sale' request is made from inventory to the fixed asset? Then if inventory is not enough, a purchase order can be generated. please let me know what you think.
