What is changing?

Current	New
When you create a rental, you choose products and rental rates at the same time.	You will select product quantity when creating a rental. Then, once the rental is saved, you can add rental rates from the rental details page.
It is tricky to find where to edit the rental services and rates.	Rental services and rates can be easily added and edited from the rental details page, or the event or recurring invoice.
You cannot choose multiple rental services for 1 product.	You can choose multiple rental services per product.
It takes a lot of extra steps to update rental rates for a recurring rental. For example, when you want to increase or decrease rates, you would have to create the next invoice and update the pricing.	You can overwrite your current rate for a specific rental anytime by editing the rental rates. Existing invoices will not be affected by changes, only future invoices.
If you create an extra invoice between your recurring invoices on a rental or have to VOID and invoice, rate overwrites and classes will not persist when creating the next invoice from the recurring invoice.	Your rental rate overwrites and classes will persist when creating the next invoice from the recurring invoice.
