Your profile and company details are reachable from the drawer.

Core workflow: list, book, hand over, return
1. List equipment
Equipment → Equipment Types → + creates the rentable product (e.g. "Excavator, mini"). Add individual serialized units under Equipment, and set day/week/month pricing under Rates.

2. Book a rental
Check the Main Gantt calendar for open dates, then create the booking under Rentals → +: customer, equipment, rental period. A new customer can be added on the spot.

3. Hand over and return
On the start date, use Pickup/Return → Pickup to check the equipment out to the customer. On return, use Return to check it back in — this is what frees the equipment up again on the calendar.

4. Invoice and get paid
Generate the Sales Invoice from the rental order under Acct Sales, then record the Incoming Payment once the customer pays. Outsourced or subcontracted equipment follows the same pattern under Acct Purchase.

5. Track utilisation
Utilisation shows how much each piece of equipment has been rented out versus sitting idle, to help with pricing and fleet decisions.

Accounting
Acct Ledger (chart of accounts, transactions, journals) and Acct Setup (accounting periods) round out the bookkeeping side. Invoices support PDF printing.

Backend
Requires a running Moqui backend (moqui.org). See the main GrowERP README for setup instructions.
