<p class="Help-Text">Use this procedure to send your rental customers monthly billing statements using your QuickBooks financial software. This example is for piano rentals by the month; adjust for your needs.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">When you run financial exchange with QuickBooks after renting a piano, the customer (if new) is added to QuickBooks, enabling you to use account charges for future monthly billings. Typically, you would do monthly billings on a set day of the month for all rental customers.</p>
<p class="Help-Info-Line">To send out monthly rental billings:</p>
<ol>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">Set an account limit for the customer. We suggest this be equal to at least two months additional rental charges.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">In Point of Sale, display your sales order list filtered for pianos currently rented out (as explained <a href="custorder_longrental_viewrented.htm">here</a>).</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">Select a rental sales order and then select <font class="hcp1">S</font><font class="hcp1">ell</font> <font class="hcp1">I</font><font class="hcp1">tems</font> from the I Want To menu.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">Enter a <font class="hcp1">Doc Qty</font> of one for the "Piano Rental Charge" item and select <font class="hcp1">OK</font>. This charges the customer for one additional months rent.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p class="Help-Indent">As necessary, increment the order quantity on the sales order for the rental charge item, so that some months always remain due. This prevents the sales order from being automatically closed if you "sell" all of the initial months entered.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li class="p-Help-Steps">
<p class="Help-Steps">On the sales receipt, take payment by <a href="../qbpos_recording_sales_and_returns/receipt_payment_acctcharge.htm">account charge</a> and save.</p>
