If you would like to calculate the shipping cost into the quote at this time, you can do so by selecting it in the “Delivery Method” section and choosing “Add in Quote”. If it is not added at this time, it will be computed when invoicing based on delivery order(s).
Once you have added all of your items into the quote, you can calculate the total cost by selecting “Update” next to the total towards to bottom of the quote. After verifying everything is correct you can either e-mail the order, or save it is a printable PDF version.

Now that all of our information for the order is filled out, we can click “Confirm Sale” on the top of the page to complete the quote.
=Create/Finalize Invoice=
If you would like to invoice this order directly, you can click the “Create Invoice” button at the top of the page.
Next you can choose from different invoicing options. With a rental, you will usually invoice the whole sale order, but if the situation calls for it you can also choose to advance a percentage or certain amount of the invoice, or a specific some of the order lines. Once selected click “Create and View Invoice”.

Here in the Invoice Draft we can review everything once more if needed, then click “Validate” in the top-left.

Now our invoice is open and the rental is almost complete. If the rental has gone as planned and the payment is processed, you want to register the payment in the invoice.
We’ll do this by selecting the option on top and filling out the Pay Invoice. You have the ability to do a partial payment, but you will usually process the entire amount. Once completed click “Register Payment” and the invoice will be completed.
In our next module we’ll touch on Finding delivery/pickup order for a rental to return the stock into our inventory once the rental is completed.
